Cows

Cows are big dumb four-legged mammals that go "moo". They are members of the bovine family and are ideal for yielding meat products in the form of beef and veal and dairy products in the form of milk. Male cows are called bulls while female cows are called heifers. Their young are called calves. In Hindu culture, cows are considered sacred because they give milk and it is considered a sin to injure or kill one. Killing a cow in India will earn you a longer stretch in prison than killing a human.

Cows play a minor role in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series. The Sawyer family owned a slaughter house in Muerto County, Texas in the first film. A group of youths drove by a pasture with some cows in it. They picked up a hitchhiker who described in great detail the process that his family used to slaugther cows at the slaughter house.

On the daytime Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, vampire Barnabas Collins was sometimes forced to feed from cows when nourishment from human blood was unavailable. He attacked some of the cattle belonging to the uncle of Joe Haskell, and later attacked some at several other farms.

Cows occasionally appeared on the AMC television series The Walking Dead. In season two of the show, the Greene family owned a cattle farm in rural Georgia. Cows could occasionally be seen grazing in the fields. One of the cisterns on the property, used to provided drinking water for the cows, actually had a bloated walker trapped inside. However, his presence did not seem to contaminate the water enough to affect the animals.

Dale Horvath discovered the dessicated remains of a cow at one point and realized that Walkers had broken past the farm's defenses. This realization came a bit too late for poor Dale however, for as he spun around, he was attacked and mauled by a walker.
