Why would anyone want to name their cow? Find out why and also find a list of several cow names to choose from in this article.
One would wonder why cows should be named at all, especially when they belong to a herd. The reason, and this one is scientific, is that giving personal attention to a cow by giving it a name yields better milk and increases production. Just as humans are sensitive to personal touch, so are cows. They are happier when given attention, and therefore produce more milk. A happy cow also means a healthy cow, and no one would know how necessary it is to keep cows healthy and happy more than farmers. Research has also shown that cows have a sixth sense and are sensitive to emotions and people. As such, when given the importance they desire and deserve, they develop a strong and positive bond with their owners, proving extremely profitable to them.
Though many of you think that cows are dumb, they are actually very elegant animals. If you have ever noticed their gait, you will know. Therefore, they should be given names accordingly. Given below is a complete list of cow names in alphabetical order, with their meanings.
