A truly fat cow (and not one with just a round belly) often is considered one that will not breed well due to the fat deposits causing fertility issues.

Are fat cows healthy?

What most consider to be "fat" on a cow--being a large, rotund belly--is in fact not being fat at all. When a cow has a round abdomen and is eating, behaving and eliminating wastes normally, then that "fat" cow is indeed healthy. But, there still can be truly fat cows, and those cows are those that have fat deposits over their ribs, pelvic areas and deposits in the brisket (part in front of the chest with loose skin) and rump. Fat cows are those cows that have so much fat that ribs cannot be felt and the pelvic area is not seen, and such cows are not exactly what us humans would consider healthy cows. Obese cows can have problems with lactation and reproduction (including infertility and difficulty in birthing), which would compromise their own well being.
