'''Cattle''' are large domesticated [[animal]]s reared for [[beef]] or [[leather]] or kept to produce [[milk]].
The word ''cattle'' has no singular form, as the male '''bull''' and the female '''cow''' have markedly different temperaments.
The offspring of cattle is a [[calf]] (plural ''calves'').
A [[castration|castrated]] bull is called a bullock.
During his sojourn in Haran, [[Jacob]] prospered while tending cattle for Laban. (Gen. 30:40)
The female appears placid and contented and can be easily approached and milked, even by a child. The bull is considered dangerous and is typically penned up far away from any cows.
Like many kinds of livestock their waste produces [[methane]], an invisible and odorless gas.
There are over 60 breeds of cattle worldwide, including the Brahmin, Zebu, and Hereford.<ref>[http://cattle-today.com/ Cattle]</ref>
[[Uniformitarian]] thinkers claim cattle were domesticated by mankind over thousands of years <ref>http://archaeology.about.com/od/domestications/qt/cattle.htm</ref> but Christian believers prefer to argue that these creatures were created by God as they are today for the benefit of mankind.
