Cows



Cows

When cows give birth they lie down or stand up. When calf pops out they stand up straight away. The calves try to drink the milk from the mother's udder. When a calf is born they get put in a warm shed with other calves. In the shed they get hungry. The calves are greedy because they want to be first and want more milk than them. When cows grow older they nibble on grass. They feed more grass than milk. They also need fresh water.


Little calves grow small horn’s. Their horn’s are cut by hot iron.They have injections so they don't have sharp horn’s. The farmers keep the best dairy cows for milking. They are called heifer. Cows can produce 20,000 liters of milk a year. The male cows are slaughtered.
