Ireland's equivalent of the Iliad is the Táin Bó Cúailnge, literally translated to 'the driving off of cows of Coolee'. It details a war fought not over Helen of Troy, but a prize bull. Cows are clearly widely considered as a prime reason to have a war.
Is it a bull? I've read the horns on highland cows and bulls are differently shaped, but not well versed enough to tell from the picture. My guess would have been that it's a cow(?) Any experts; please weigh in!
I knew there just HAD to be an African country in there, but I didn't guess them at all. I was stuck on the countries around South Africa, didn't even think of the two in the answers. Also, I'm a bit surprised Canada isn't on the list. There's a LOT of beef farming here. I'm not even out West where the really big ranches are, and probably three quarters of the farmers in my and my parent's area have herds of cattle.
I read crows eventhough the picture was staring me in the face... It literally took me several seconds for my brain to proces which was right haha (not awake too long I have to add..) ("sooo this one, yes??") This was before I clicked it btw. On the mainpage
Given that the picture is a Heilan coo, I assumed UK would have to be on the list. Even typed out United Kingdom in full just in case. And then tried Scotland...
I didnt know that was a(nother) name for it :) I call em highlanders, well actually "Schotse Hooglanders" all three meaning the same though. And yea I wondered about the picture too.
It is not on the quiz though it does represent the subject. And I think they are awesome looking :)
and coo sounds the same as koe which is what we call a cow. It is really interesting to hear/listen to Scots :)
It doesn't say anywhere that they consume these cows, they just have them. I think it's still acceptable in Hinduism to use cows for dairy, and there are other uses for cows, such as using them for labor and burning their dung as fuel (source).
They are also often relabelled as buffalos before being exported to states (or countries) where killing cows is legal. India is the largest exporter of cow hides in the world…

Makes me wonder if the climate or culture was more significant.
