E. coli, including the species that normally live in the intestines of cattle and cause severe illness in humans, is very susceptible to freezing, intense heat (hence why Hamburgers should be cooked to 145 degrees F before being eaten), most detergents (ie, soap and water), extremes in pH (very acidic or very alkaline), drying out and irradiation. Most of these interventions, with the exception of alkaline application and irradiation) are used to reduce or eliminate E. coli on beef from cows slaughtered in the US.

E. coli infections in cattle do happen and can be severe, but they are generally not intestinal infections. Cattle are susceptible to E. coli mastitis (infection in the udder) and cystitis (urinary tract infection). Intestinal infections with E. coli happen primarily in young calves under the age of 5 days.

The reason is that Certain types of ecoli are deadly to humans and these are easily passed on from one person to another and can end up in the water supply in certain places. The ecoli that is dangerous to humans originally comes from certain animals. these can be harm-full to humans and can also be passed fro human to human. they are not to be confused with the ecoli that are a natural part of our system. the dangerous ecoli are most likely to affect the sick , children, the elderly and people with imune deficiency.

Do you say a herd a cows was grazing or were grazing?

Herd is the subject, it's singular, and it takes a singular verb.A herd of (not a) cows was grazing. "of cows" is a prepositional phrase and can be removed from the sentence with causing grammatical harm. The verb does not conjugate for "cows" because it's not the subject.A herd was grazing.A herd of cows was grazing.
