I want to buy a cow! What do I do. Does it need food?

Depends on the type of cow you're wanting.

Yes, they prefer Mac and Cheese and they drink lots of whale milk. I prefer to keep mine in the spare bedroom.

And I don't know about yours, but my cows like to go out to chick fil a, and Dairy Queen.

A cow is too big to keep in aquarium -- do you have a pond? Feed what's available -- snapping turtles and water mocs.

You have to send off for a cow nowadays. Mail A couple of boxtops and a SASE to Battlecreek Mi, and they'll send ya one in the mail. Feed it same as you do Sea Monkeys.

There are several types of cows (Angus, heifers, poll, wagyu) you can have a research of what type you'd like to buy, and yes you need to feed them and put them in a wide environment.

Do cows make good pets?
What do I feed it?

Yes this works with cows, but don't try it with pigs, I once heard a story about a pig doing a lot of damage to a mans freezer.

As for keeping them in the basement, I thought I read somewhere that in olden times, they had them under the house to provide heat.

In my search for that, came across this interesting article using cow heat in a more modern way for heating the house:

It wasn't long before the inventive engineer realized that, since a single cow gives off 3,500-4,000 BTU an hour, a mere 15 milkers could provide sufficient excess warmth to heat a standard 2,000-square-foot home. Ramlow then devised a prototype Cowpower system . . . but he tested the unit for a year before he was satisfied enough to put it on the market.

I think auctionboy was taking a comical jab at one or more of the hobby farm website forums.
