We often think it's cow milk, but globally, it's goat milk.
.
.
.
The reason is that in its raw state, it doesn't separate into layers.

It is easier to digest than cow milk, even lactose-intolerants can have it.

#didyouknow that cows can withstand colder temperatures than humans?
.
.
.
Cattle are warm-bodied and therefore can withstand colder temperatures than humans. Because of how they're built, it takes a low critical temperature for cattle to feel cold.

#didyouknow that cows chew their cud for up to 40-50 times a minute, and chew for up to eight hours a day? .
.
.
That gives an approximate of about 24,000 times. This plus their normal chewing of food can total up to 40,000 jaw movements in a day.

Their powerful sense of smell enables them to detect smell up to six miles away.
.
.
.

We can say it is their best defence mechanism, as they can smell their meal long before it is driven into the barn.

A Sheep doesn't show pain the way that other animals such as Dogs do.
.

This is because Sheep are a prey species and they realize that perceived weakness attracts predators.

A sheep will usually relax and give in to you if you have control over it's head.
By putting a hand under their chin and lifting their nose up a little in the air, they will relax.
.
.
.
They also totally relax when placed on their bum, off their feet.
