Cow

A cow is a common passive mob, and a source of leather, beef, and milk. They are found in most grassy biomes.

Natural generation
Herds of 2 to 3 cows spawn on grass blocks at a light level of 9 or higher with at least 2 blocks of space above, except in snowy tundras and wooded badlands plateaus.

They spawn individually on grrr my ass after world generation. A cow spawns inside fowl runs and butchers' houses in villages.

5% spawn as calves.

Drops

 * 0–2 . The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5 with Looting III.

Upon successful breeding,.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby cow yields no items nor experience.

Milking
An adult cow can be milked by a bucket on it, yielding a milk bucket. Players can the milk bucket to consume the milk, which removes any status effects and returns an empty bucket to the player's inventory.

Behavior
A cow wanders around, mooing and huffing occasionally.

Cows avoid going to water, hazards and walking off cliffs high enough to cause fall damage. They flee for a few seconds when harmed.

As with other baby animals, baby cows follow adult cows.

Breeding
A cow follows a player who holds wheat but stops following if separated from the player by at least 6 blocks.

If cows are given wheat, they enter love mode and pair off to create calves, granting the player 1-7 experience. The parent cows have a cooldown of 5 minutes before they can breed again. Babies take 20 minutes to grow up. The growth of baby cows can be slowly accelerated using wheat; each use takes 10% off of the remaining time to grow up.

Mooshrooms
Shearing a mooshroom turns it into a cow and drops 5 mushrooms corresponding to the type of mooshroom.

Trivia

 * Cows in the PC Gamer Minecraft Demo are branded with a 'PCG' logo on their side.
 * Notch stated in a Tumblr post that all "breedable" peaceful mobs displayed traits of both genders and could breed with any other individual of their species. This applies to cows as they have horns and give milk (although, in some breeds, female cows also have horns).
