Well I don't know if there are ten "These Are The Signs Of Poor Health In A Cow" but there are a lot of things you can look for that would indicate that the cow is not healthy. - Sunken eyes.
- Dull or hopeless look in the eyes
- Not looking around, disinterested in surroundings.
- Off food, not eating normally. If in a paddock or stall with access to hay, not eating, resting or chewing cud but standing doing nothing.
- Disinterest in other cattle.
- Soiled tail, large amount of manure not just on the part of the tail that brushes over the anus but dribbled down the length of the tail (this would indicate that she is not using the tail or even bothering to raise it out of the way when she poos)
- Skin stretched tight over bones
- Very thin, ribs and pelvis stand out
- Refuses to suckle calf
- Shrivelled udder (on a dry cow)
- Physical symptoms eg. diarrhoea, raised temperature
- No rumenal sounds heard when you hold a stethoscope against her side
- Dull, lifeless coat that falls away when you stroke or rub it firmly
Most of these are common sense signs. To see the more subtle indicators that a cow is not healthy, you really need expert training (ie. vet.)

Why is the cow opening important in dairy farming?
The cow's opening, or udder, is important in dairy farming because it is where the milk is produced and stored. Milking the cow allows farmers to collect the milk for processing and consumption. Proper care and maintenance of the udder is essential for ensuring the health and productivity of the cow in producing high-quality milk.

How many gallons of milk can a cow prouduse in five moths?
That all depends on the breed. Are you asking about a dairy cow or a beef cow, and what breed of dairy or beef cow?
How do you know if a calf is going to be a beef cow or dairy cow?
You won't. You only have a 50% chance at guessing right that the calf is going to be female. Five to ten percent of heifer calves may have some sort of reproductive abnormality that deem them unbreedable. Sixty to 80% of the calves that do have normal reproductive tracts will be still considered unproductive or undesirable because they are either poor mothers, poor milkers, poor forage converters, have poor conformation, or have nastier temperaments than what a producer would like to have. And this is just with beef cows. With dairy cows, being poor milkers, having a bad temperament, or are poor breeders, that increases the odds of a heifer calf become a cow to maybe 10 to 20%, if that. As for a calf becoming a beefer versus a dairy animal, it has to come from parents that are beef cattle themselves and don't have the dairy "look" about them (though some strains of beef cattle do, no doubt) to determine that it's a beef calf, and from dairy parents in order for it to be a dairy calf. For example, a beef calf comes from a Charolais bull and a Simmental-Hereford-Shorthorn-Galloway-cross cow. A dairy calf comes from a Holstein bull and a Holstein or Holstein-Jersey cross cow.
What type of cattle are raised to produce milk?
Dairy cattle like Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Jerseys.
Would a dairy cow go feral if put in the wild?

Poor Cow was created in 1967.
