[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who raised cows and steer as part of 4-H and actually paid for a considerable chunk of my college tuition with cows, I can tell you 100% authority they are not very smart. I’d put them at about the same intelligence-level as goldfish, in fact. Just about every domestic animal I can think of is probably smarter on average than a cow. Dogs - even dumb dogs - are Einstein compared to an average cow or steer.

Another 4-H'er here who showed cattle (among other animals).  I completely agree with you.  Just because an animal has some intelligence, knows it's own territory, can learn a routine and be trained/figure some stuff out doesn't make it 'smart'.  Even chickens can be trained to a certain extent and they are THE dumbest farm animal ever.

Animals should also be treated humanely no matter their intellegence level. [/quote]
