1. Tips for judging whether a cow is good or bad
1. Look at the breed: choose a breed suitable for local breeding according to the region.
2. Look at the build: choose breeds with a big head, a wide space between the two front legs, and a big rear.
3. Look at foraging: breeds that grab food, are not picky, have great strength, and have a fiery temper are somewhat better.
4. Look at the skin: choose breeds with proper coat color, smooth and glossy, and no skin diseases.
5. Look at vitality: choose breeds that are full of energy, lively and jumping about, strong in build, and bright-eyed.
2. How to make cattle most obedient
1. Cattle are stubborn by nature, and generally you can put a nose rope on the cow, so the cow is relatively obedient and easy to lead away. The rope needs to be a soft rope, but it is not easy to put on; a hard rope is easy to put on, but easily rubs the cow's nose raw. Then put a halter over the cow's head, grasp the cow's nose, and use your hand to determine the relatively weak spot on the cow's nose; too far forward and the cow feels no pain, too far back and it pierces the cow's cartilage, causing relatively great harm.
2. Therefore you need to find the relatively weak spot, then put on the nose ring, or put on the nose rope, and finally pour on baijiu or alcohol, mainly to disinfect. After the cow's nose is pierced, you can pour it directly on the nose, then rotate the nose ring or rope.
3. The distribution range of cattle
Apart from extreme environments such as extreme cold and extreme drought, cattle are widely distributed throughout the world. Among them, those with relatively large numbers include Brazil, with 133.02 million head, of which buffalo are 720,000 head; the United States, with 114.04 million head; China, with 78.08 million head, of which buffalo are 19 million head and yak are 13 million head. Although India raises a large number of cattle, due to religious customs and other reasons, their production performance is relatively low.
4. Common types of cattle
1. Ordinary cattle: wide distribution range, very large numbers, and a relatively close relationship with human life.
2. Yak: hair longer than the knees, cold-resistant and hardship-resistant, very well adapted to the ecological conditions of thin oxygen in plateau areas. It is a unique livestock breed of China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the meat, milk, hide, and hair it produces are also important living resources for local herders.
3. Wild cattle: mainly American bison and European bison, etc., which can be crossed with ordinary cattle species in the Bos genus, producing heterosis and providing useful genes for breeding new varieties.
4. Buffalo: one of the main draft animals in rice-growing areas, and in India it is also used for milk.
5. Yellow cattle: horns are relatively short, the coat is mostly yellowish-brown or black, the hair is short, and they are often used for plowing land or pulling carts. The meat is for eating, and the hide can be made into leather. They are also one of the important draft animals.
