Cows on the Farm: Helpers, Milk Givers, and More!

Cows are some of the most important animals on Earth. They may not run fast or roar loudly, but they help people in so many amazing ways! In fact, there are more than 1.3 billion cows in the world today—more than any other farm animal.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes cows so special.

What Do Cows Give Us?

Cows are super helpful to people. They give us:

• Milk to drink

• Cheese and butter for our food

• Ice cream for dessert

• Leather for shoes and clothes

• Beef in many parts of the world

Without cows, we wouldn’t have many of the tasty and useful things we enjoy every day. Even pizza wouldn’t be the same without cheese from cows!

Cows Around the World

Cows are found in almost every country, but they are treated very differently in each place. In some countries, like India, cows are considered holy animals. That means people do not eat them and they are treated with great respect. It’s even against the law to hurt a cow in some areas!

If you were a cow, India might sound like a very nice place to live!

The First Farm Animal?

Did you know that cows were probably the first animals to ever be tamed by humans? A long time ago, people brought wild cows close to their homes to use for farming, food, and milk. That was the beginning of cows becoming domestic animals—animals that live and work with people.

Today, cows still help on farms, pulling carts and plows and giving families fresh milk each day.
