|description = A large domesticated ungulate, cows have been bred for millennia to produce huge amounts of milk, meat, and leather. They are exceptionally gentle creatures and will never seek revenge, no matter how many times they are harmed. Most of them are so adapted to farm life that they cannot survive in the wild.

{{Info|The '''cow''' is a large herbivore best known for its [[milk]] and tasty meat. Males of the species are referred to as '''Bulls''' and can be distinguished by their horns and lack of udders, while females are referred to as '''Cows''' and have the opposite features. Babies of either gender are referred to as '''Calves''' and have the features of adults of their gender.}}

==Obtaining==
Cows don't spawn in the wild and thus cannot be tamed. They can only be obtained via trading or received through the animal self-taming event.

== Summary ==
{{Pen Animal Note|Cows}}

A female cow can be milked for up to {{P|Milk Amount}} units of milk {{#ifeq:{{P|Milking Interval Days}}|1|per day|every {{P|Milking Interval Days}} days}} (depending on your pawn's [[Animal Gather Yield]]).

==Analysis==
Cows are reasonably efficient animals that produce milk, which can be used as a meat substitute for [[fine meal]]s and [[lavish meal]]s.  

While they are worse for vegetarian food than [[chicken]]s, cows can be friendlier to your computer (lots of chickens can create lag).

===Nutrition===
When slaughtered, a cow yields {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*40}}}} leather as a calf; {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*40}}}} as a juvenile; or {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*40}}}} leather as an adult. 

*'''Milking'''
Female cows produce {{icon small|milk}} {{P|Daily Milk Average}} per day, or {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} [[nutrition]] in milk per day. A cow consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} from milk alone ({{icon small|milk}} {{#expr: {{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} per day per 1 nutrition consumed).

Cows produce produce {{#expr: (({{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{Q|Yak|Daily Milk Average}})-1)*100 round 0}}% more milk than the next best producer, the [[yak]]. However, yaks are also pack animals. 

*'''Slaughtering + Milking''''
Slaughtered as calves, and including the production of milk, the nutrition efficiency of a population of cows varies from {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} round 3}} to {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} round 3}} depending on how many more female cows there are than bulls. 

If the calves are allows to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, this changes to {{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}}-{{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} round 3}}

Cows are reasonably nutritionally efficient, but they are slightly less so than [[Horse]]s and [[Ibex]]s. The increased work required to milk the cows every day further places them behind such competition. As a result, the cow shines best in colonies with the Animal Personhood [[meme]], that want to create fine or lavish meals without slaughtering animals. Even in this regard, cows are inferior to [[chicken]]s in every respect other than lag-friendliness.
