Really depends. On their own, without influence from the human society they would be happily grazing grass like any other of the bovine species, not causing too much trouble. However, the way cows are kept nowadays, in large amounts in order to mass produce your Big Macs with fake cheese on them, they do produce a large amount methane and other greenhouse gasses.
The above notion is not entirely true. Cattle are grazed for 12, 14, 18 months in open range and in wide open spaces. The "factory" cattle myth suggests that they are "fed" throughout their lives. They are fed in enclosed areas for 30 or 60 days at the end of their lives and are only then fed grain.
Interestingly, cows can improve habitat. They can graze on foodstuffs that help to clear debris from range-lands and hillsides, keeping it free of the fuel that feeds wildfire. Cattle can also convert dry matter into feed for themselves, including remnants like almond hulls, sugar beets, etc. This animal is an amazing machine. With its four stomach chambers, a cow can chew and then digest through its four chambers an incredible amount of food.
In addition, cattle are generally raised in environments that do not supplant acreage needed for farming. Most herds in North America are raised in environments where the growing season for food crops is short, hence they are a positive economic venture in those regions. Cattle help to preserve open range land and allow for open spaces to continue. In addition, where cattle graze, wildlife and waterfowl thrive. In North America, 75% of the waterfowl migrating north or south are protected by ranchers, not by government regulation or even conservation areas. Reducing these private lands will impact wildlife preservation.
Dairy cows impact the environment through methane emissions, water usage, and land degradation. While they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution, sustainable farming practices can help mitigate these negative effects. Overall, the environmental impact of dairy cows depends on how they are raised and managed.
Carcinogens
Yes, in fact it is.
because they are bad for the environment. they pollute the water
The United States Environmental Protection Agensy is really bad
The gas in a cow's fart is mostly methane which is a 'greenhouse gas'. So it's bad for the environment.

No. It is not recommended
cows play a good part they provide us milk and without cows you can make no ice creams i love cows
Meat itself is not bad for the environment. Because of the size of the Beef industry in particular, the transporting of product around the world has had a significant impact on our environment. Not to mention that with more bulls and cows on the planet than ever before the methane gas produced by the animals is also having an effect.
Cows are only as harmful to the environment as those humans who manage them. Supposedly they emit a lot of methane which is a potent greenhouse gas, however there are a lot of animals that are not cows that also emit a lot of methane themselves, directly or indirectly.
No, cows burp do not damage the ozone layer. It is just a natural phenomenon of the environment.
gas from cows
big plump bad annoying mooing bad
The biomass is the amount of living matter in an environment. It is neither good nor bad. Humans are part of the biomass of their environment. The environment can only support a certain amount of biomass before the resources are depleted.
Iron, copper, and apple trees and raise dairy catows [ cows my bad] cows and beef cartels [ cattels ]
they are not bad unless they eat poo. but their good because their the one who give u milk
