Cows Wallpapers
Cattle, colloquially referred to as Cows, are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae. They are raised as livestock for meat (called beef and veal), dairy products (milk), leather and as draft animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). In some countries, such as India, they are honored in religious ceremonies and revered. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion cattle in the world today.The term "dogies" is sometimes used in the context of ranch work, as in "Keep them dogies moving". In some places, a Cow kept to provide milk for one family is called a "house Cow". Obsolete terms for cattle include "neat" (this use survives in "neatsfoot oil", extracted from the feet and legs of cattle), and "beefing" (young animal fit for slaughter)."The Cow to me means the entire sub-human world, extending man's sympathies beyond his own species. Man through the Cow is enjoined to realize his identity with all that lives. Why the ancient rishis selected the Cow for apotheosis is obvious to me. The Cow in India was the best comparison; she was the giver of plenty. Not only did she give milk, but she also made agriculture possible. The Cow is a poem of pity; one reads pity in the gentle animal. She is the second mother to millions of mankind. Protection of the Cow means protection of the whole dumb creation of God. The appeal of the lower order of creation is all the more forceful because it is speechless."
