Introduction:

The Cow is a very useful animal. The Hindus worship it as a sacred animal. They call
it the mother. They preserve it at all costs. They are very much opposed to its killing.

Its Appearance:
It is a four-footed animal. It has big body. Their legs are slender. She possesses two
horns on its head. It defends itself with them against the enemies. Her long tail has
long hair at the end. It is very useful to it in keeping off flies. Its feet are called hoops.
They are split in two parts. It has eight sharp teeth in her lower jaws only. Her feet do
not let her slip.

Its Colors:
The cows are of different colors- white, black, red and mixed, etc. black cows are
considered very useful.

Its Food:
The cow lives on grass. It eats hay and vegetables of many kinds also. In the
seasons when there is no green fodder. It lives on straw and gram.

The cow has a peculiar way of eating the fodder. At first it does not chew its food. It
simply puts it into its mouth and swallows it up. Then it lies down for rest. It brings
back the fodder from its stomach in her mouth and chews it well. This kind of eating
is called chewing the cud.

Its Usefulness:
The cow is the most useful animal. It vies us milk. Its milk is best for the sick and
infants. Those who cannot digest an ordinary food can live on its milk. Ghee, butter,
curd and many other sweets are made form its milk. Its milk improves our minds. It
makes us active. It removes laziness.
Cows dung and urine are also very useful. The Hindus consider them holy. People
use its dung for coat in floors and walls, because it kills harmful germs. Its dung
cakes are used as fuel. Farmers use its dung as manure.

The cow gives us calves. When they grow up, they are called oxen. They plough
fields. They draw water from wells. They carry heavy loads from one place to
another. A farmer is nothing without oxen. They are his property.

The cow is useful even after its death. Its hide is made into leather, shoes, boots,
bags and boxes and many other useful things are made out of it. Its bones are
equally useful. We make combs, buttons and other things with them. They are also
used in making handles of knives and razors.

Conclusion:
It is painful to think that cows are losing their importance now. We should protect
such a useful animal. Improved bulls should db imported from abroad. Panchayats,
cow-pens and cow societies should keep bulls of good quality for breeding purpose.
