Do all cows look the same?

Answer 1

No. Age of a cow, and her diet will affect the taste of the meat. For instance, cows on pasture all their lives will taste much more stronger and gamier than cows that have been fed grain a lot. Older cows tend to have a stronger taste than younger cows too.

Answer 2

No. Cows come in a wide variety of colours, sizes, and even shapes. They can be thin or fat, tall or short, long in body or short. They can be white, brown, red, black, roan, spotted, white-faced, or even tiger-striped/brindle. Additionally, some are horned, some are not, and size and shape of horns can differ quite greatly. Quite often there are even more discrepancies within a breed than between breeds, and even more so with composite or cross-bred cattle.

Answer 3

There is no specific type or breed of cow (or "cow") that tastes the best. Diet plays a huge part in taste, as well as humane treatment. However it is all up to what your personal preferences are as far as taste is concerned--no matter if grass-fed beef tastes better than grain-fed beef or vice versa.
