Why are cows big?

Answer 1

In today's cattle industry, big cows = big calves = $$$$$$$$$$$$$. This simply means that a producer can wean a big, soggy calf for more money than he can with a small calf. It's all to do with demand for beef than anything.

Answer 2

Because you only need one or two bulls to breed a larger herd of cows. The recommended cow:bull breeding ratio is between 10:1 and 50:1, depending on the pasture size and the age, libido and level of experience of the bull.

Answer 3

Cows are an important part of our dietary needs, cattle provide us with the needed beef, milk and clothing products. As a farmer I also like them because they can be a challenge some days, they are fun to work with, however, not everyone enjoys cattle.

Answer 4

Grazing fields. Often farmers will not separate their cows in grazing fields like they would traditionally in pins. Since Grazing Fields are a big thing now, breeding is much more likely to happen.

Answer 5

Because we eat a lot of meat and foods made with milk that come from cows.

Answer 6

Because cows are farm animals so they live on a farm

Answer 7

There are more cows than dogs because cows are bred at a faster rate due to the need for milk and beef products and byproducts on the store shelves.

Answer 8

The main reason would be an increase in demand for beef and milk.
