Like Lynn, I hope y'all don't mind me laughing.
Y'all live in the city don't you? Unless someone's made a pet out of it, most cows on farms move away from people because usually interacting with people means having something unpleasant done, like shots, the vet sticking his arm up their er, well, you know or stuff like that.
Dr. Skipper there are all kinds of cows in the world, lots of different kinds of breeds, just like dogs and cats. There are dairy cows that are bred to produce lots of milk. There are beef cattle who are bred to produce, well, beef. Some breeds of cows are supposed to be kind of skinny looking. Dairy cows are meant to put the feed they eat into producing milk, not body fat.
All that aside, I would caution you against trying to pet some farmer's cows without getting permission first. Those cows are that person's livelihood. They may not take kindly to you "harassing" (from their perspective) their cows.
My suggestion if you want to pet a cow is to go to a fair or 4H show and ask to pet one that someone brought to show. Those cows are used to being handled.
