What do you need to show cows?
I don't know about cows because I only show calves. But I am guessing they are the same. You need a cow halter, clippers( to cut their hair), they need to be de-horned, you need to have a ride to bring the cows to were ever they are going. I'm pritty sure there are more things you need but that is some of it!
Do cows have molars?
Of course! The cows need all the molars they can get. Their diet consists mainly of cellulose and digesting it requires a lot of molar work:)
How much space do 10 dairy cows need?
you should have at least 10 cows to officially be called a dairy farm. Less than that and you're pretty much only a hobby farm.
How many bulls should you have on a farm?
It depends, Many dairies have no bulls on the farm and all breeding is done by artificial insemination. Most small farms only need one bull, especially if the bull is with the cows all year round and you don't have a defined breeding season. Things you need to take into account though are the age of the bull and if the cows are synchronized. You also need to account for how much land the cow are out on. If the bull is two years old you want to give him about 20 cows. Three or four year olds could probably have up to 40 cows. You definitely don't want to go over 50 cows. If the bull is old you probably want to decrease cows too. If the cows are syncronized you need more bulls because the cows are all coming into heat about the same time. You probably want to have 10-15 cows per bull. If the cows are out on range and it is difficult for them to move around you need less cows per bull. You also want to have your bulls tested each year for venereal diseases, semen count and motility. Also watch for lameness and if they are in good shape going into the breeding season. If he can't get to the cows then he can't breed them. One last thing if you are on a small farm with only one bull make sure you don't breed him to his daughters or granddaughters! Try AI, or a new bull or sell all related heifers.
How do you look after cows?
They let them suckle when they need to, and teach them what to eat, where to go, habits of the farm, and generally keep an eye on them so they don't get into trouble. Momma cows will also put themselves between their calf and a source of potential harm for their calf when they find the need to do so.
