In a world without cows, we would not have beef or milk. Or leather. Or many other items you may not think of right away when you think about cows.

Cattle are valuable not only for their primary food products but also for numerous byproducts that are derived from different parts of the animal. Cattle byproducts are used to make granola bars, mayonnaise, gelatin, coffee creamer, margarine, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, broth and chewing gum, to name a few.

But cows are much more than just food. Most people probably use at least one byproduct every day.
