Cows are some of the most important farm animals. Learn how to draw a cow face and head so you can create your own farm, complete with a barn.

A single cow gives so much to humans. Farmers can milk them and drink their milk or use it to make cream, butter and cheese.

They also butcher cows for beef, which they can use for hamburgers, barbecues, stew and other recipes.
