What does the healthy cow eat?
This depends on your area and what type of cattle you are feeding. Beef and dairy cattle will eat different types of food as will mature bulls, yearlings, dry cows, and pregnant cattle. Dairy cattle are usually fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) consisting of soy beans, corn, and hay. Dairy calves are fed a calf starter ( a grain that is high in protein to aid growth and digestion). Yearlings will eat a corn mixture usually with oats to aid in healthy digestion and growth. Again, this changes for each location and what the farmer seems fit to feed the cattle. Growing feedlot beef cattle will eat a high energy corn for an increase of weight gain. Dry females and pregnant females will usually eat silage, insilage, some farmers will feed dry cattle a specific ration that costs more.
Can you milk cattle?
Only the female cattle (called cows) that have had a calf a short while ago are the ones you can milk out. Males, including bulls, bullocks and steers, you can't. You also can't milk female cattle that are dry (not producing milk) and have not given birth to a calf, no matter the age.
What is the average yearly income for a cattle rancher?
Depends on the year like if it was dry it might not be good. But if there was no sickness or and the grass was good it might be a good income.

There are a lot of part-time cow-calf operations in Tennessee.

That all depends on where you live and whether you're wanting to raise them on pasture or in a dry-lot.
Does a head of cattle equal one cow?
Not necessarily. It means cattle in a collective term, not cows as in only cows with calves, or dry cows or pregnant cows or bulls or steers or heifers or whatever. When a cattleman says that he has 50 head of cattle, he means cows, bulls, steers, heifers and calves, not just the cows themselves.
