The Cattle

Cattle are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus "Bos", and are most commonly classified collectively as "Bos primigenius". Cattle are raised as livestock for meat, as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals.
