1 Cattle have been domesticated for thousands of years. Before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, using cattle to drag carts or to plow fields was the popular means for farmers all over the world. Nowadays, farmers prefer using machines. Hence, it is becoming a rare scene to see farmers using cattle as farm helpers. Although cattle's role in farming has diminished drastically ever since the invention of machines, their presence on farmlands has remained strong. In today's environment, cattle are mainly kept for their meat, hides (leather), and milk.
