Cattle have played a vital role in human civilization for thousands of years, contributing to agriculture, food, culture, and even ecosystems. As sources of milk, meat, leather, and draft power, they support millions of livelihoods around the world. In many communities, cattle represent wealth, tradition, and sustainability, often passed down through generations.
Beyond their practical uses, cattle also affect the environment. Grazing cattle can help manage landscapes when done responsibly, promoting grassland health and biodiversity. However, managing their impact is key, as overgrazing and methane emissions pose environmental challenges. Innovations in feed and farming methods aim to strike a better balance.
