Holstein (Holstein-Freisian) cows are the black and white cows most frequently seen.
A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
Cows have cloven hooves. In galloping through boggy places or in deep mud, cattle can distance a horse. Their toes spread, and therefore their wide feet do not sink so deep as do those of the solid-hoofed horse. Furthermore, the cleft between the toes permits the air to enter the hole in the mud as the foot is raised; wheras the horse must overcome a partial vacuum when it withdraw its hoof, and so wastes considerable muscular effort beside having its speed retarded and its self-confidence shaken.
A cow doesn't bite the grass that feeds her, she curls her tongue around it.
A Holsteins spots are like fingerprints. No two cows have the same spots.
A cow can't vomit.
Her intestines can get up to 170 feet.
