Actually, It depends on the laws in your state. Some states do not have "open range" signs and laws. In WI for example, the cow owner is responsible for the damage, unless the police determines that you were negligent or reckless...as all animal owners are required to be in control of their animals at all times, and are liable for any injuries and damage they cause. I know this several ways...I studied to become a police officer, I worked at a vet clinic that specialized in large and small animals, and my husband recently went through this.

Do you have to replace a cow you hit on a road?

It depends on what the owner of that cow says. You may have to replace the cow with another one, or pay a fine for damages to that cow as well as how much the cow had originally cost the producer. Often it's best to let the owner himself to replace the cow on his own, because he/she knows better what to look for than you do.Another View: Actually that would probably become a question for your insurance company rather than you. The farmer has the responsibility to maintain secure fences for his livestock, so he does have some responsibility for the wandering cow. As a matter of fact, your insurance company (or you) could probably sue the farmer.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

If milk is free, someone else is paying for it. Probably the taxpayer. So the taxpayer is paying the owner of the cow for the milk. If you have to pay for milk you are paying the owner of the cow direct (ir through the owners milk supply company). In neither case do you need to buy a cow.


Can a person adopt a cow?

Yes, if the cow is up for adoption. A more common term for animals could be rescued or purchased if the cow had a previous owner. As far as legally adopting a cow as your child, no, that would not be possible.


What do you call the person who has to kill a cow?

That all depends on what reason the cow has to be killed for. If it's the cow's owner who's killing it for meat or because the cow is too ill to be saved, the person is still called the farmer or rancher. If it's someone who does not own the cow but a doctor of animals, and performs the act of "putting the cow down" via humane euthanasia, then that person is called the veterinarian. If it is someone who is killing the cow for meat only and has been hired by the cow's owner to do such a thing, as well as skin, gut and quarter the cow afterwards, that person is called the butcher.
