Cows don't spawn in the wild and thus cannot be tamed. They can only be obtained via trading or received through the animal self-taming event.

{{Pen Animal Note|Cows}}
 
 
A female cow can be milked for up to {{P|Milk Amount}} units of milk {{#ifeq:{{P|Milking Interval Days}}|1|per day|every {{P|Milking Interval Days}} days}} (depending on your pawn's [[Animal Gather Yield]]).
 
  
 
==Analysis==
 
==Analysis==
Cows are reasonably efficient animals that produce milk, which can be used as a meat substitute for [[fine meal]]s and [[lavish meal]]s. 
+
When slaughtered, a cow yields {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*40}}}} leather as a calf; {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*40}}}} as a juvenile; or {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*40}}}} leather as an adult.
 
 
While they are worse for vegetarian food than [[chicken]]s, cows can be friendlier to your computer (lots of chickens can create lag).
 
 
 
===Nutrition===
 
When slaughtered, a cow yields {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*40}}}} leather as a calf; {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*40}}}} as a juvenile; or {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*40}}}} leather as an adult.
 
 
 
*'''Milking'''
 
Female cows produce {{icon small|milk}} {{P|Daily Milk Average}} per day, or {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} [[nutrition]] in milk per day. A cow consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} from milk alone ({{icon small|milk}} {{#expr: {{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} per day per 1 nutrition consumed).
 
 
 
Cows produce {{#expr: (({{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{Q|Yak|Daily Milk Average}})-1)*100 round 0}}% more milk than the next best producer, the [[yak]]. However, yaks are also pack animals.
 
 
 
*'''Slaughtering + Milking'''
 
Slaughtered as calves, and including the production of milk, the nutrition efficiency of a population of cows varies from {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} round 3}} to {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} round 3}} depending on how many more female cows there are than bulls.
 
 
 
If the calves are allows to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, this changes to {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}}-{{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} round 3}}.
 
  
Cows are reasonably nutritionally efficient, but they are slightly less so than [[Horse]]s and [[Ibex]]s. The increased work required to milk the cows every day further places them behind such competition. As a result, the cow shines best in colonies with the Animal Personhood [[meme]], that want to create fine or lavish meals without slaughtering animals. Even in this regard, cows are inferior to [[chicken]]s in every respect other than lag-friendliness.

A cow consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day, and produces {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} nutrition each day in milk; resulting in a nutrition efficiency of {{#expr:{{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} from milk alone or {{icon small|milk}} {{#expr: {{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} per day per nutrition consumed. Cows produce produce {{#expr: (({{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{Q|Yak|Daily Milk Average}})-1)*100 round 0}}% more milk than the next best producer, the Yak, however Yaks are also pack animals.  
  
=== Nutrition in a closed system ===

Slaughtered as calves, and including the production of milk, the nutrition efficiency of a population of cows varies from {{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} round 3}} to {{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} round 3}} depending on how many more female cows there are than bulls. If the calves are allows to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, this changes to {{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}}-{{#expr:({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} round 3}}
Cows can eat [[simple meal]]s and [[nutrient paste meal]]s, even out of their own milk. By converting milk into simple meals, cows create {{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05*1.8}} nutrition per day, assuming you have a sufficiently skilled Animals handler. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%| ({{P|Daily Milk Average}} *0.05 * 1.8) /{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}}; a female cow can sustain itself on its own milk so long as cook can constantly produce it meals.
 
  
Using nutrient paste, an efficiency of {{%|({{P|Daily Milk Average}} *0.05 * 3) /{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} is reached, enough to feed a cow and bull. However, nutrient paste must be [[Nutrient paste dispenser#Manually producing meals|dispensed manually]].
