The exact same way as a human being would drown. When a cow cannot hold her breath any longer underwater, the reflex to inhale becomes too powerful to overcome anymore and water pours into the lungs, causing her to drown.

Cows can swim, albeit poorly and only for short distances in relatively shallow and static waters. If they stop swimming, they will not float due to the bulk of their digestive tract and muscling relative to the amount of fat on their bodies.

NO. Cows drown just like any animal drowns, which is via their respiratory tract.
