Yes. Heterotrophs are organisms which must take in organic substrates in order to survive. This means they are consumers that take the energy from other organisms, plants or animals because it is incapable of obtaining its energy any other way, such as through photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants. Cows, being such consumers, then need to get their energy by consuming plants, making them heterotrophs.
