The only structural adaptations of a cow that has been made has been created by man for selection for either more beef or more milk. For beef cattle, those that have depth of rib and barrel, are structurally correct and gain weight efficiently are good for use for breeding. For dairy cows, cows that keep their productivity as long as they can without breaking down, have good body structure and give lots of milk will stay in the herd as long as necessary.

Cows have four legs, cloven hooves as feet on each leg, large body mass often over 1000 lbs (450 kg), long tails, short legs, large blocky barrel of a body, and an udder with four teats. Cattle are commonly known for their digestive tracts: they are ruminants that have one stomach with four compartments referred to as the the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum in that order. Cows also often have horns or no horns, depending on their genetics or breeding. They also come in a wide variety of colours including dun or buckskin yellow, black, white, brown, red, orange, but never green, true blue, pink,or purple.
