Cash Cow Dogs

Domestic cattle, cows and bulls, are members of the herbivorous bovinae sub-family. As livestock, they are raised for meat, dairy products and, sometimes, employed as draft animals. Their hides are used as leather for clothing and accessories and their dung is used as fuel. Cattle’s predators are wolves, coyotes, wild dogs, bears and mountains lions. Druids associated the bull with solar energy; the cow, earth energy. Cattle are one of three mammals that have different symbolism for males and females. The others are deer, hind and stag, and wild boar and sow. Cattle symbolize protection as the buffalo does.
