To begin with, cows are extremely beneficial to humans to build and maintain a healthy body. We would not have the essential vitamins and minerals from cow milk if they became extinct. Cow milk contains more than nine essential nutrients. In cow milk, calcium helps to strengthen bones, Vitamin D absorbs calcium and promotes bone growth, phosphorus works with calcium to help build bones and provides more energy, and B …show more content…
Although hardly any of them are as healthy as cow milk. For example, almond milk accommodates only 300 milligrams of calcium, while cow milk has 305 milligrams of calcium. Additionally, cow milk contains 7.7 grams of protein per cup while almond milk only has 1 gram of protein per cup. Therefore the cow milk is a reliable source of protein and almond milk is not. Also many people do not prefer the almond milk over regular milk because of the plain, dull taste. Unfortunately, cow milk has around 24 milligrams of cholesterol and 8 grams of fat per cup. But the positive side of the fat found in cow milk is that babies benefit tremendously from the fat because it helps their bones to strengthen and grow to the correct size in a healthier manner than any other milk. It is obviously safe to say that the cow milk may have a little more fat or cholesterol compared to other milks, but it has the most of the vitamins and nutrients the body needs on a daily …show more content…

Yet switching over to another type of animal farm would never be as successful as a cattle-ranch farm because goats and sheep are nowhere near in as high demand as cattle are. This is an example of how difficult it would be for cattle-ranch farmers to live and make a living without cows. Cow beef and dairy products bring in more than one million dollars a year. Not only would the United States be losing over one million dollars but every company or store that is associated with, or carries, those products will either lose over half their business or their store/company. Losing this enormous amount of money would not hurt but would essentially kill all businesses that purchase and sell these products. Overall the American farmer would be losing over $2,740 a day. Because of the money loss, companies and stores that carry cow products would have to lay an abundance of workers off or shut down the business(es) altogether. This outcome would drive workers to unemployment and would thoroughly devastate the
