Why in the world are there so many images in this article? This is overkill in the extreme. Unless there is a good argument for keeping them I will turn many of them into media links that are linked to the main image's description page. Just because there are many images of cows doesn't mean we have to use all of them. Also, what about people on dial-up modem? This page will take way too long to download with so many images. --] |

Moving them sounds good. I'm against deleting them altogether, because as a digital encyclopedia we should have a lot of multimedia content and I'm conservative about deletion. But as an Internet encylopedia we should be open to dial-up users and users with small screens. --] ], ]st ] |

In bottom center of the image (labeled "a", captioned {{tq|'''a'''. Pie chart for microbial classification at the domain level. Averages are from all fecal and rumen liquor samples.}}), a small pie chart is split into three parts. Arrows from these slices point to three corresponding bar charts. The arrow from the blue (]) slice points to a bar chart (labeled "e", captioned {{tq|'''e.''' Stacked bar plot of relative abundance of the dominant phyla in the ''Eukaryota'' domain.}}) with six items: |

It seems that there is a mix-up both in the original paper and in the file on Commons. Either the blue and grey parts are mixed up, or the arrows from pie chart to bar charts are wrong. I couldn't find ] for this paper. |
|
I'd like to move them to ] rather than on the :Image page that they're on now, because I think this is more in line with ]. comments? ] |

:The article namespace is not appropriate for such an image gallery. We should tweak the policy instead to allow this use of image description pages ''so long as'' the article from which the page is linked (in this case ]) has explicit text indicating to the user that the page they are going to has alternate images of the subject. ] already complies with this. In this case common practice is not reflected in the policy and the policy needs to be updated. If no images whatsoever were allowed to be displayed on image description pages then the developers would write one line of code to prevent this. --] |

Young male cattle are called bull calves, once they are castrated they are called steers for the first 12 months then they are bullocks or oxen. ] (]) 20:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC) |
|
Small correction the difference between a cow and a heifer is a cow is a female that has produced offspring, and heifer has not produced offspring. |
|
|
|
: Not done: leaving aside that Misplaced Pages isn't a dictionary, we can't insert text without citing a reliable source; nor is it obvious where this might go in the article. |
|
|
|
|
: Not necessarily. Many producers, veterinarians, and others in the industry will refer to a "first calf heifer"--that is, a female that has borne a calf but not yet weaned it. For dairy cattle, they are often called heifers when they first join the milking herd, and called cows some time later, towards the end of their first lactation. Like many ag terms, usage varies from one region to another. ] 21:51 7 Jul 2003 (UTC) |

==Titles for breed articles?== |
|
|
Hey, anyone--I see that breed pages are titled in one of three ways: |
|
|
Breedname (cattle), Breedname cattle, or simply Breedname. One might think we ought to be consistent. Thoughts on which is the best? (I'm inclined to go for one of the first 2, and use the 3rd as a redirect...? E.g., "holstein" would link to or redirect to Holstein cattle." ] | ] 01:01, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

If anybody wants to create an article about Watusi cattle, following are some links. Watusi look awesome. Unfortunately there is already a "watusi" article in wikipedia but it is just a redirect. http://www.watusicattle.com/news.shtml http://www.crazyforcows.com/fow/fow16.shtml http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/ankolewatusi/ |

== Obsolete terminology? == |
|
|
|
|
|
Where I live, the term "beeves" (multiple beef cattle) and its singular "beef" are still used by ranchers and people in the processing business. While I agree that they're uncommon, and falling out of favor, they're not gone yet, and I'm not sure it's appropriate to leave "beeves" out and mark "beef" as completely obsolete. I didn't change this in the main article, though, as I'd like to hear some other opinions. And, as a side note, the word "heifer" absolutely means "female that hasn't given birth to its first calf" around here. I see that Kat disagrees, but doesn't this at least rate a parenthetical? ] 16:45, 2 May 2005 (UTC) |

Wouldn't it be nice to see some statistics on cattle population (worldwide, and perhaps in selected countries as well)? Has anybody got some figures they can share? (Somewhere I'm sure the US government has a public domain source we can raid...) ] ] 21:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC) |

:For example, according to the USDA, there were 94,882,000 cattle including calves in 2004 in the US. Can it be I'm the only person who'd be interested in this? Please Misplaced Pages, don't let me down, you've always been an infallible geek magnet till now! ] ] 21:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC) |
