How were/are cows be able to survive in the wild

2.09K viewsBiologyOther

Everything I hear how cow farmers need to take care of their stock baffles me more and more how these were able to survive for so long

A cow needs to be milked every certain period to avoid infections, bruising, death

A cow needs help with the birth of a calf, as its sometimes a process which cant be done by a cow itself

A cow builds up gasses in their stomachs, requiring punctures to avoid sickness, death

And not to mention the parasites, specific diets, and maybe some other things I wouldn’t know about

Long horn cattle lived wild for several hundred years. They were the dependents of domesticated cattle released by the Spanish conquestadores. The quickly evolved everything they needed to survive. The same thing happens with feral hogs.
