Real Domestic Cow Joint Bones

This is a real collection of domestic cow (Bos taurus) joint bones, including articular specimens from the appendicular skeleton. The set displays the characteristic trabecular structure and articulating surface morphology typical of large bovid joints. Useful for comparative anatomy study, veterinary osteology, or skeletal reference collections.

The domestic cow is a large domesticated mammal raised worldwide for milk, meat, leather, and as draft animals. Descended from wild aurochs, cows have been central to human agriculture for thousands of years. They are social herd animals with a complex digestive system, using their four-chambered stomach to break down tough plant material like grasses.
