Daisybelle character jug produced by W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik of Bavaria, Germany, circa 1962. Daisybelle is a cute and happy little cow enjoying her life on the farm.
Cattle are large, domesticated, bovid ungulates widely kept as livestock. Mature female cattle are called cows and mature male cattle are bulls. Young female cattle are called heifers, young male cattle are oxen or bullocks, and castrated male cattle are known as steers. Cattle are commonly raised for meat, for dairy products, and for leather. As draft animals, they pull carts and farm implements. In India, cattle are sacred animals. Small breeds such as the miniature Zebu are kept as pets. This was a pair with a Daisybelle sugar bowl.
