Cows are by nature kosher because they chew their cud and have cloven hooves. Front or back is no issue, but how the cow is killed does affect whether its meat is considered kosher - the idea is to drain the life blood out of the meat in the killing process (in ancient times thought to be both relatively more "humane" than clubbing an animal to death and the proscription was against eating blood although people didn't realize it was infused into the flesh...). If on the other hand you're referring to the idea that the proscription is not to "seethe" (boil, simmer, cook...) a calf in its mother's milk and the milk comes from the udders in the posterior of the cow, that's a different issue. There it is a question of respect for the animal since mother's milk is life-giving and it seemed to be just a violation of the value of life and motherhood (among other things). That's why dishes like Beef Stroganoff are not kosher, because the sauce over the beef contains milk products.

Are cow brains kosher?

Cow brains are generally considered non-kosher according to Jewish dietary laws. This is primarily because the kosher status of an animal depends on its species and the method of slaughter, and the brain cannot be properly inspected for specific prohibitions, such as the presence of certain diseases. Additionally, organs like the brain are not typically consumed in kosher diets. Always consult a reliable rabbinical authority for specific guidance on kosher dietary laws.
