Eric22: A steer is another name for a casturated bull. The word steer is also more commonly used.

'''Cattle''' are large domesticated [[animal]]s reared for [[beef]] or [[leather]] or kept to produce [[milk]].

The word ''cattle'' has no singular form, as the male '''bull''' and the female '''cow''' have markedly different temperaments. However, cattle are often referred to as "cows", whether male or female.
The offspring of cattle is a [[calf]] (plural ''calves'').

A [[castration|castrated]] bull is called a bullock or a steer.

During his sojourn in Haran, [[Jacob]] prospered while tending cattle for Laban. (Gen. 30:40)

The female appears placid and contented and can be easily approached and milked, even by a child. The bull is considered dangerous and is typically penned up far away from any cows.

Like many kinds of livestock their waste produces [[methane]], an invisible and odorless gas, which liberals falsely maintain contributes to [[global warming]].

Cattle are susceptible to [[bovine spongiform encephalopathy]], which when humans eat infected cows, they get CJD. CJD is a 100% fatal disease. All cows younger than 5 do not show symptoms of BSE. Cattle are slaughtered at 18 months.

There are over 60 breeds of cattle worldwide, including the Brahmin, Zebu, and Hereford.<ref>[http://cattle-today.com/ Cattle]</ref>

[[Uniformitarian]] thinkers claim cattle were domesticated by mankind over thousands of years <ref>http://archaeology.about.com/od/domestications/qt/cattle.htm</ref> but Christian believers prefer to argue that these creatures were created by God as they are today for the benefit of mankind.

== The infrequency of cow tipping happening ==

According to the website Modernfarmer.com: "While in the history of the world there have surely been a few unlucky cows shoved to their side by boozed-up morons, we feel confident in saying this happens at a rate roughly equivalent to the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series. The evidence against cow tipping is immense, and backed up by both farmers and the laws of physics..."<ref>[https://modernfarmer.com/2013/09/cow-tipping-myth-or-bullcrap/ Cow Tipping: Fake or Really Fake?]</ref>

Omnivore

Eric22: I changed consumers to animals because not every consumer is a animal, This edit makes the wording more specific. I also removed "other" because omnivores could also be plants.

An '''omnivore''' is a consumer that eats both [[plant]]s and [[animal]]s.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With General Science''. Anderson: Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 2000</ref> Because they eat a wide variety of foods, many omnivores, such as [[raccoon]]s or [[seagull]]s can live in diverse environments. [[Humans]] have been designed to be omnivorous, as is evident from their teeth and digestive tract.
