The cow is a domestic mammal from the family Bovidae. It belongs to the genus Bos. Humans domesticated cattle thousands of years ago for dairy, meat, and farm work. A cow has a stomach with 4 chambers. After grazing it chews the cud to digest food better. Cows like to graze together and walk in calm herds. A young cow is called a calf and follows its mother closely. Adult males are bulls, and females are cows. There are many dairy breeds like Holstein and Jersey. A good dairy cow can give 20–40 liters of milk a day. Fresh milk can be turned into cheese, butter, and yogurt. Cows communicate with low voices and with body posture. Their strong sense of smell helps them find fresh grass from several kilometers away, sometimes up to 6 km. The period of gestation for a calf lasts about 9 months. In hot weather cows swing the tail to drive away flies. In many cultures the cow is a symbol of patience and abundance. In India the cow is sacred and protected in many towns. When treated kindly cows can recognize people and remember faces for months. Healthy pastures and clean water keep a herd strong and calm.
