Cows are primary consumers because they eat plants. In fact, all vegetarian or herbivorous animals are primary consumers.
Consumer levels are defined by the way in which an organism obtains energy. Plants obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Primary consumers obtain energy by eating plants, and secondary consumers obtain energy by eating other animals.

How long do cows live?
That all depends on how productive they are, living conditions, health history and how favourable they are to a producer's cow herd. Typically age of a cow is determined by the producer. If a cow is no longer productive for some reason or other, she is culled and sent to the slaughter plant. Occasionally a producer will let a cow, particularly one that is a "foundation" cow, live to old age. How old is old age depends on the cow: some will live until they are 15 to 20 years of age or more. Others may only live until they are 3 to 5 years because they had to be culled for health, temperament or unproductive reasons and sent to slaughter.
