Best Answer

Cows provide milk, which can be turned into butter, cheese, yogurt, curds and whey (aka "cottage cheese") and other products, that feed people. Their droppings fertilize crops, which also feed people. Slaughtering the cow ends the usefulness of the cow... especially when there's no refrigeration, and meat spoils quickly, and can cause illness (and attract vermin) as it does. This was the case, at the time the Vedas and other holy books were written.
