keep in mind
- The cow is a social animal that lives in a group organized around dominance and leadership.
- Very sensitive to touch, you can scratch the cow in its favourite places: on its head or rump.
- Their sensory abilities are very different from ours. For example, they adapt slowly to light changes.
