They are used as riding animals and draft animals . Another product of cattle is dung, which can be used to create manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. Cattle, mostly small breeds such as the Miniature Zebu, are kept as pets,more info:wiki

On a sun-soaked day in mid-April, the Hammonds corralled the cattle back into the paddock behind the old barn.

The nursing mothers were separated from their spring calves, just as they had been in the fall, and then locked into neighboring pens for the night. Rick said it was probably eleven o’clock before the cows settled down and stopped mooing, slipping into sleep in the darkness, but they were up again before dawn, calling to their calves. By mid-morning, when the veterinarian arrived, the cows were noisy and rattling the gates of the corral. The sun was pale-bright again, washing everything into pastel hues, thin wisps of high cirrus clouds the only interruptions on the cornflower sky. The pristine clarity and spring-like promise in the air, even touched as it was with the last of winter’s chill, seemed strangely at odds with the task ahead.

#8 Beef cattle,more info:wikipedia

Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of mature or almost mature cattle is mostly known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations. The production cycle of the animals start at cow-calf operations; this operation is designed specifically to breed cows for their offspring. From here the calves are backgrounded for a feedlot. Animals grown specifically for the feedlot are known as feeder cattle, the goal of these animals is fattening. Animals not grown for a feedlot are typically female and are commonly known as replacement heifers. While the principal use of beef cattle is meat production, other uses include leather, and beef by-products used in candy, shampoo, cosmetics, insulin and inhalers.

#7 Feral Cattle and Pit Bulls Are Terrorizing SoCal Hikers,more info:adventure-journal

Public lands in Southern California are home to some pretty trippy stuff, but this is odd even for the Southland: More than 150 feral cows and bulls are roaming the Sand to Snow National Monument east of Los Angeles. Making matters more surreal, packs of wild pit bulls are roving the monument, and twice in the last four months parts of the public land were closed after dogs attacked cows. In November, three dogs attempted to take down one of the cattle and in January dogs succeeded in killing a calf.

Despite being home to more than 20 million people, Southern California has a lot of open space and a mix of federal and state lands. Sand to Snow, created in 2016 by President Barack Obama, is 240 square miles and has 101,000 acres of wilderness. The Pacific Crest Trail cuts through the monument and Whitewater Preserve just west of Palm Springs, and there are bears, mountain lions, and coyotes, too. Peaks soar over 11,000 feet, and one of the longest elevation day hikes in the country is there, too.
