Cow

''This article refers to the normal cow. For other uses of cow, see Cow (disambiguation).''

Cows are animals available on FarmVille. These animals were formerly purchasable at the market; cows can now only be received as gifts. They are generally the most common kind of animal as they require the lowest level. A cow used to cost a farmer 300 coins and will take 1 day to grow. Farmers may collect milk from it, which will provide 6 coins. It is based off the real world Holstein dairy cow.

Cows take about 50 days to make a profit, 48 days to make a profit if you sell it.

Other Versions
Brown cows and pink cows can be adopted from other farmers. These produce chocolate milk and strawberry milk, respectively. Referee cows could also be adopted for a limited time. Then B0V1NE-09, previously called Alien Cow, which are lime green cows, could be bought for a limited time, which produce a substance called Milktonium. Pink Patch Cows could also be bought for a limited time and produce strawberry milk like normal pink cows.

Containment
A Dairy Farm can be purchased and can hold 20 cows. Referee cows can now be placed in a dairy farm.

Adoption
For a period of time cows were adoptable Lost Animals.
