Is it just me, but doesn't it look like the cow on the left is starving to death?

- davidcollantes 5y agoI think they are buffaloes, but yes, both look malnourished.
- AareyBaba 5y agoThey are cows. India has many indigenous breeds. https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/expert_system/cattlebuffalo/Breeds%20of%20cattle%20&%20baffalo.html https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/expert_system/cattlebuffalo/Bree...
- msrenee 5y agoDefinitely a cow. Just the indicus type rather than the taurus we see a lot more of in the US/Europe.

- msrenee 5y agoNeither of them are in great body condition. Not quite as bad as they might look first off. They're a different type of cow than we're used to seeing in the US and much of Europe. The hips are always a little more sunk in than in beef cattle and maybe more than most milk cattle.
- msrenee 5y agoSorry, the hips are always a lot more sunk in than say, an Angus cow. Not just a little bit. It's a pretty startling difference if you grew up in beef country. They've got a hind end more like your standard US and UK milk breeds. Edit: The ones in the picture are in the indicus group/category/I don't know what the current technical term is. Angus, Jersy, Holstein, etc would be in the taurus group/ect.
