Answer 14

It takes up a spot in the food chain, an evolutionary pathway kept alive by humans interested in milking and eating it.

Answer 15

Well, among other things....

Milk

Meat

Leather

Fertilizer

Medical Products (trypsin, corticotrophin, thrombin)

Automobile and bicycle tires contain stearic acid, which makes the rubber hold its shape under continuous surface friction. Even the asphalt on our roadways contains a binding agent derived from the fat of beef cattle.

Beef by-products are also used in all sorts of mechanical items. For example, chemical manufacturers use the fatty acids of inedible beef fats and proteins for the production of lubricants and fluids. From industrial cleaners and fertilizers to printing ink and high gloss for magazines, many useful products are created from beef cattle.

And the list goes on....99% of a cow is utilized after slaughter

Answer 17

The original pupose of the cow was to spy on the Earth and send information back to their home planet of Asteeronax in the Taurus constellation.

They wanted to invade the earth and create a literal Mootopia.

But as time went by their planets ozone depleted sizzling every citizen to what we would call culinary perfection.

The Mootopian agents left here on earth were soon discovered and were kept as slaves by the human race.

This happened millions of years ago and today the decendants of the original invaders are used for food and other various products.

We must not let the cow gain the foothold on our planet that it originally came to make.

We must keep the modern cow at bay or else our planet may become udderly defenseless against this crafty enemy.

Answer 18

To make delicious steaks!  And cold, creamy milk.  And wonderfully-smooth ice cream.

Answer 19

You could ask that of any living creature (including humans); they weren't designed with any purpose. All species evolved. Cows of course being mammals produce milk for their young. Somewhere along the line humans got the notion to drink another species milk. Domesticated cows were breed over thousands of years for their milk and meat. I don't believe it is at all healthy to consume them and certainly the cattle raised on factory farms suffer a great deal.

Answer 31

Cattle were domesticated perhaps as early as 10,000 years ago, and have long been a principal source of meat, milk, and power for hauling loads and tilling land. The "bovine ilk" (in Ogden Nash's inimitable phrase) was the first large creature to be genetically engineered, in the sense that it was selectively and intensively bred. In the millennia since early Mesopotamians first converted the fierce, ancestral aurochs into the contented cow, a wide variety of specialized breeds have been developed. And of all those breeds, according to M.R. Montgomery, the epitome of bovinity is the Aberdeen Angus, or Black Angus, cow.
