Cow (Skyrim)

Cows are large, docile, domesticated animals which are common throughout The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, especially on farms. The Nords of Skyrim use them for meat and milk (however, its impossible to get milk from a cow in game). There is a bounty for attacking a cow, which is as low as 5 and as high as 100.

Trivia

 * It has happened that the cow in Whiterun was a "witness" to a crime.
 * Cows are sometimes given as gifts to Giants, and are led by their owners (Farmer), to keep them from attacking villages. These cows have a rune painted on their bodies, which most likely serves as a sign of peaceful intent.
 * There is a random encounter where you can meet a man giving a cow like this to some giants, though if you follow him the giants kill him.
 * On random occasions, Cows have been seen chasing Farmers until either the Cow or the Farmer is killed.
 * The cows of Skyrim resemble Highland cattle, a Scottish breed of cattle. Highland cattle is hardy breed that can survive in rugged climates.
