The cow is a quadruped domestic animal. It has two horns and a long bushy tail. It lives on grass, leaves, rice etc. It is generally gentle by nature. It has many colours : red, white, black, brown or a mixture of such colours. Its body is covered with short hairs. The cow is a very useful animal. It gives us milk. From milk, we make curds, butter, ghee and posset.
From posset, we make various tasty sweetmeats. The dry cow-dung cakes are used as fuel. It is also a good manure. The cow's call is called mooing. Its male is called a bull or an ox. A baby cow or bull is called a calf. The bullocks are used for
ploughing the field for cultivation. They are also used for pulling carts, drawing water from the well or for running the grinding-tree. A dead cow's hide is used for making leather goods. Thus the cow is useful to us in various ways.
