How are sheep and cows alike?

Answer 1

No, cows eat grass. This is sometimes a problem, because sheep also eat grass - but the sheep eat the grass all the way down to the ground, which can kill the grass. That means that next week, there won't BE any grass, so the cows who come into this pasture next week can starve.

In fact, this was one of the points of contention between cattle farmers and sheep farmers in the "Old West"; cows could continue to graze in the same pasture week after week, but sheep would kill the pasture grass.

Answer 2

They are both mammals and farm livestock. So they have some similarities, but they are not the same.

Answer 3

Both are ruminants with 4 compartments in stomach.

Both are cleft hoofed.
