Cattle
Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (oxen or bullocks that pull carts, plows and other implements). Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. From as few as 80 progenitors domesticated in southeast Turkey about 10,500 years ago, according to an estimate from 2003, there are 1.3 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome. Some consider cattle the oldest form of wealth, and cattle raiding consequently one of the earliest forms of theft.
Taxonomy
Cattle were originally identified as three separate species: Bos taurus, the European or "taurine" cattle (including similar types from Africa and Asia); Bos indicus, the zebu; and the extinct Bos primigenius, the aurochs. The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and taurine cattle. Now, these have been reclassified as one species, Bos taurus, with three subspecies: Bos taurus primigenius, Bos taurus indicus, and Bos taurus taurus.

You Make Me Feel Like A Star (lizzie Mix)
by: Beu SistersOoh, ooh, yeah, yeah, come on
Never gonna be in movies
Except in a front row seat
Never gonna be the ravin' beauty
My momma thought I'd be
Never gonna write that novel
Never be a homecoming queen
Never gonna be a supermodel
On the cover of a magazine
But all those things don't matter
In the light of things to come
'Cause baby, you are my moon
And I am your sun, oh
You make me feel like a star, oh baby
You say, "Stay, baby, stay
Just the way you are"
And tell me girl, you're fine
And you will shine forever in my heart
That's why you, yeah, you
You make me feel like a star
Maybe I ain't the girl next door
Who waves at you and smiles
Maybe I'm not a party girl
But don't I drive you wild?
Baby, the way you see me
Is the way that it should be, yeah
Feelin' like I'm somethin' special
Seven days a week
And the only thing that matters
When the day is done
Is that you are my moon
And I am your sun, oh
You make me feel like a star, oh baby
You say, "Stay, baby, stay
Just the way you are"
And tell me girl, you're fine
And you will shine forever in my heart
That's why you, yeah, you
You make me feel like
Every day's my birthday
Every night's a dream
Oh, when you kiss me
I melt just like ice cream
Never gonna be a Charlie's Angel
Never gonna be a saint
But you love me for all I am
And everything I ain't, oh
You make me feel like a star, oh baby
You say, "Stay, baby, stay
Just the way you are"
And tell me girl, you're fine
And you will shine forever in my heart
That's why you, yeah, you
You make me feel like a star
You make me feel like a star, oh baby
You say, "Stay, baby, stay
Just the way you are"
And tell me girl, you're fine
And you will shine forever in my heart
That's why you, yeah, you
