How would you-describe cows for kids?

Answer 1

Cows are found all over the world except Antarctica. They are found on farms and ranches, in barns and out on pastures or ranges. They come in a wide variety of colours and colour patterns, not just black and white: grey, white, yellow, orange, red, brown and black are the colours you can find a cow in. Cows can also be horned or not horned. They are big and bulky, often as big and wide as a van, but smaller than a bus. Cows are actually girls, not girls or boys, as most of you might think. The "boy cows" are called bulls. Cows give birth to babies called calves. A girl calf is called a heifer calf, and a boy calf is called a bull calf. She gives milk for her calf to drink, as it needs it to live, just like you need to eat food to live and not be hungry all the time. She often also gives milk that you drink: the black and white and light brown cows are often the ones that give the most milk, not the ones that are grey, white, yellow orange, red, all black or darker brown. The other coloured ones are often ones that give birth to calves that are grown to be made into beef.
