Can you learn about cattle?

Well you've come to the right place, for a start! Just browse around the various questions and categories on cows and cattle for information you are trying to find.However, there are far more places to go to to find useful information on cows and cattle. You can buy books on cattle, which is probably better than doing a Google search on "cows," by going to Amazon.com.

Do cows lie down to sleep?

They don't. This is a myth. Cattle will just keep on grazing or head for shelter when it rains. Most cattle don't give a hoot whether they get wet or not. If it's a light rain, they'll just keep grazing. If it's a heavy downpour or a cold rain that chills you right to the bone, then they will head for shelter (a grove of trees, a barn or a shed) and bunch up together to keep warm. An experienced cattle producer will tell you that it's not true that cattle will lay down when it's going to rain or even when it does rain. And even an animal scientist can tell you that cattle don't have this barometric-pressure sensing thing that makes them "have to" lay down right before it rains. The only time cattle will lay down, even when it's all together, is when they're chewing the cud or need a time to rest. Cattle are herd animals, and do anything together, from eating to sleeping to even mating.


How do you tell a shorthorn cow from a longhorn cow?

Shorthorn cattle (referring to the beef type, not the Milking Shorthorn [dairy]) are thicker, bigger and more bulkier than Longhorns are. Much of the Shorthorn breed are polled, and come in only three colours: red, white and roan. Shorthorns were historically more commonly known as Durham cattle, which had horns that only had a spread of about two to three feet. Longhorn cattle (assuming you're referring to Texas Longhorns and not English Longhorns) come in wider variation of colourations, from all black to dun to speckled black and white or red and white, and near everything in between. TL's have long horns, ranging from 6 to 7 feet in length, more commonly the former and point out and up. They are commonly not as big and beefy as Shorthorns are, being more rangy-looking than most beef cattle. English Longhorns are always a red roan with their horns pointing downwards and in. They are less common in North America than either shorties or TL's.

How much concentrate feed do cattle eat per day?

There's not enough information to answer this question. This is because "concentrate feed" doesn't tell me much, nor does the vague term "cattle". Baseline intake is 2.5% of an animal's body weight in dry matter per day. From there it's highly variable, less if the concentrate feed is not fed to cattle ad libitum.

How did the different ranchers tell their cows apart?

Why do you think Odysseus doesn't tell his crew about the peril his men will face with Helios cattle?

There is no need. Golden cattle are not normal. The crew already know that these are sacred cattle. They already know the consequences, so telling them that they will all die and only he, Odysseus, will survive if they eat the cattle sounds arrogant and petty.


Why did ranchers brand their cattle?

It's a way to tell if those animals are theirs if they are either stolen or if they are grazing with animals from other ranches. Each ranch has its own individual brand, and this way cowboys could easily tell which cattle belong to that ranch they're working for or not. They still do.
