Cows can be black, white, brown, or spotted. They have big bodies, four legs, and a long tail they use to swat flies. Some cows have horns, and they all have a big wet nose.
Cows eat grass and hay all day long. They have a special stomach with four parts that helps them digest tough grass. Cows chew their food, swallow it, then bring it back up to chew it some more!
- Cows give us milk that we drink and use to make cheese and ice cream.
- They say “moo” and like to hang out with their friends in the field.
- Cows have best friends and get sad when they are separated from them!
