cattle
Moo in pastures
Cattle are domesticated bovines raised for meat, milk, leather, and labor.
The word is plural—a single animal is a cow, bull, steer, or calf, but never "a cattle." Cattle have been central to agriculture for millennia, and the word shares roots with capital and chattel, reflecting their historical role as wealth.
The rancher moved his cattle to higher pasture.
