Cattle are large mammals. 

Female cattle produce milk. They are called cows. Male cattle are called bulls. 

Young cattle are called calves.

Cattle primarily eat grasses and other plant, which is why they are often raised in fields, where they have good access to food. 

Humans have raised cattle for thousands of years, primarily because of their milk and meat.

Milk from cows can be used to make milk products, such as cheese, cream, ice cream and yoghurt. 

Cattle meat is known as beef. It can be used to make various food products, like steaks and ground meat. 

In the Hindu religion, cattle are sacred. This is why their meat is not eaten in places like India.
