Dairy Cow with Calf Highlights

  • Dairy vs. Beef Breeds: Cows are broadly categorized into dairy breeds, known for high milk production, and beef breeds, raised for meat. Some breeds offer a balance of both.
  • Nutritional Needs: Cows require a balanced diet of forage (grass, hay) and grains for optimal health and productivity. Access to clean water is crucial.
  • Gestation Period: The gestation period for a cow is approximately nine months, similar to humans. This leads to a single calf per pregnancy.
  • Lifespan and Productivity: A healthy cow can live for 15-20 years, with peak milk or meat production typically occurring in their prime adult years.
  • Social Herd Animals: Cows are social animals and thrive in herds. They establish a pecking order and benefit from companionship.
