Cows basically just eat grass right? But, what if a cow somehow got access to meat (chicken, beef, pork, duck, canadians etc)? Do you think the cow would eat it? Or would it go back to it's vegan ways? What would be a cow's prefered beverage? Chocolate milk, white milk, beer, sake, vodka etc? Or perhaps different drinks depending on the cows day? Cow psychology, weird stuff indeed.

Cows will eat meat. Remember when mad cow was spreading because some genius farmers- who didn't realize that cannabilism was taboo for a reason- thought that they would mix slaughterhouse waste in with animal feed? If you don't remember that, you may be suffering the effects of mad cow.

As for drink, I have seen cows drink water from a puddle of water mixed with the piss of every cow that comes to it for a drink.

Once again, after reviewing I still don't know why I am posting.

Yeah, I knew about the mad cow cannabilism thing. If a cow had a true option though, no farmer putting the food in front of him/her to eat (well, yes but not like dumping it in front of the cow), with a steak on one plate and a nice big salad on another (with caeser crutons, grated parmasean cheese and a light french dressing). Which do you think it would choose (only enough room in the cows 4 stomachs for 1 choice though)?

Sounds like you have a bona fide experiment on your hands...now to round up some grants.

Actually, I believe many cows in industrial farms in at least Europe and North-America don't go out to be able to eat grasses. They mostly get pre pressed nutricient blocks of cereal-like-something to eat. Included in it are all sorts of anti disease (as in, diseases that occur specifically with animals handled in industrial farms) and grow increasing ingredients. A large part of the rest of the ingredient might very well be grinded remains of dead animals (bones and organs from other cows, pigs, chickens and other victims of the industrial farms and could not be of use in the meat or leather industry) for filling to given these remains an economic purpose and reduce costs and logistics. No, this is not a joke...

Pigs, on the other hand, will eat almost anything and everything [as will goats]

I have three piggies. They eat indeed almost anything, except the stem of the sprouts.

I worked on a pig farm for 6 months, many years ago....I used to stink so much people would stand out of my way in queues. The thing is, you get so accustomised to the smell you don't notice it yourself.
I'm not so smelly these days.[I hope]😉

It doesn't have to be steak. Like I said in the original post, it can be any meat (beef, pork, chicken, duck, venison, quail, canadians etc.)

It's true, a couple countries out in the middle-eastern region believe cows are holy. I think in India there's 1 (maybe two cows) that people believe can heal people. They way they heal people (supposedly), is by people eating and drinking the cows waste.
