Cattle can live for many years. But like other animals used in agriculture, their lifespans are most often cut drastically short by the meat and dairy industries. Cattle are commonly referred to collectively as “cows,” but this actually refers only to female cattle. Males are called “bulls” or “steers.” In this article, we will answer the question of how long do cows live and address how this might differ from those that are not used for human consumption. Hear the whole story read by Devatha Nair.
