A heifer is a cow that hasn’t had any babies. As soon as she has popped one out, then she is classed as a cow without the tag of being a heifer
A cow can produce about 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime. That should be enough for you and your friend’s breakfast cereals, hot chocolate milks and ice creams for a looooong time!
A cow can smell scents up to six kilometers away. They can smell you before you can smell them……I may have to check this fact!
Animal: Cow
Nickname: Cow

A cow is a mature female of the bovine animal family.

Like a barrel on tent poles?
Height:

All over the world and in big numbers
What they eat:
The cow eats lots and lots of grass, wheat bran, and corn. The cow loves the food so much that she will regurgitate (spew up) the food from her stomach and just chew on it some more. eeeeeeeewwwww!
