In India, it's the Hindu version of the western dog show ... such beautiful creatures.

Mama!!
There are so many breeds, varieties and subspecies of cattle, it boggles the mind. I forget who it is that is trying to (or has done it already) bring the auroch back from extinction by breeding backwards.
Not to steal your thunder, but here's the little guy at the temple's goshala. I hope it displays, it's cute.
This was a couple of years ago,he's probably big by now.

I just love videos of animals.There are so many breeds, varieties and subspecies of cattle, it boggles the mind. I forget who it is that is trying to (or has done it already) bring the auroch back from extinction by breeding backwards.

This is from your local temple? Do they have some self-sufficient farm or something?

Not a problem ... here's some more.

Yes, this is "my" temple (possessive little twit aren't I?). You'll notice the shameless plug for the temple at the beginning of the video.
They have an on-premises goshala with two adult cows, and two calves. One calf is female and the other is male. They say that all the milk they use for abhishekams will come only from their cows.
As a kid, my mother would get us to check out the 'sucking strength' with our wee hands. You'd think they were going to pull your forearm away from your elbow. They are incredibly strong with the reflex. It was hard to get your hand out of there, when you're 5 years old.

Beautiful. They are such gentle and social animals. I really like the below video where the guy calls the cows with his flute and feeds them jackfruit:
I sorta Imagine, this is how Lord Krsna would've called the cows each morning to begin grazing.

I looked at a breed chart. That is sahiwal?

Question:
Why cows are so sacred within the Hindu religions?
And if cows are sacred, why do people often beat the cows with thin sticks. I was once surprised to see a guy throwing a stone directly at a cows head when I was young.
Still happens in India today.

one who hits a cow is in a very impoverished state , he is thinking only on a material level
I pitty such a person who will beat a Cow as he is no more than an animal himself and will suffer in future lives for his actions , ...I pitty these ignorant persons , ...

What about the people who include cow in their diet, both inside and outside India?

If it has been the tradition in their community, it is OK. Being cruel to any animal is not fair, not just the cows.
However it is a fact that where beef is eaten, the number of cows has increased (5 times in Nagaland), and where beef is prohibited the number of cows has gone down (nearly half in Haryana). That is economics.

You can be cruel to cows without eating them. Look at this foul practice in the USA:
It's even spreading to the UK. I don't drink milk, but I make sure my cheese is from properly reared cattle. English countryside is cow heaven (in the summer, at least)!
Scottish cattle are something else:
