This will depend on what they are raised to produce, beef cattle will ingest feed stuffs further converting it into energy and meat. Female beef cows will be bred either through live coverage by the bull or by artificial insemination. She will carry the calf until parturition, once the calf is born she will raise it and teach the calf how to live on its own, she will continue caring for the calf until it is either weaned by the farmer (usually around 10 months) or naturally weaned. Bulls on the other hand, either are put with about 10-15 cows for breeding purposes or if he is being used for artificial insemination he will usually give samples one to two times a day.

Milk producing dairy cattle will be milked twice a day, they will eat a high protein diet and convert the nutrients into milk and energy. Females are bred to calve at about 2 years of age, they will carry the calf until parturition, however, the calf is usually taken away from the mother after birth. She will be milked by the farmer and the milk will then be fed to the calf through bottle.

During life cattle will develop companionships with each other, they will adapt unique personalities. Young calves will show higher energy levels than mature cattle, however, cows of all ages will still frolic within the herd.
