Holger Mohaupt: cows


Cows are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos primigenius. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (pulling carts, plows and the like).

Cows is a tribute to the 1.3 billion cows on planet earth and their very personal contribution for the benefits of the human race. Cows was originally made in 1996 during the first mad-cow disease epidemic. In the United Kingdom, the country worst affected, more than 179,000 cattle were infected and 4.4 million slaughtered during the eradication program.
