A Cow is an ubiquitous low-level monster new players may find very useful to train on. They are one of the first monsters new players see around Lumbridge. New players can earn experience in combat by killing them. Along with cows, players can also find cow calves and dairy cows. It is worth noting, the Dragon halberd's special attack hits cows twice since they are considered large animals.

When a cow dies, it drops raw beef (which gives Cooking experience when cooked), a cowhide (which players can sell for profit or turn into leather items for Crafting experience), and bones (which players can bury for Prayer experience). The vast majority of cows drop nothing beyond bones, raw beef, and cowhide.

Zanaris, an underground pay-to-play area, is the only place with speaking cows. The cows of Zanaris seem to dislike the sheep as well as other players, and are apparently unaware of their ability to talk. There is also a windmill that is powered by a cow in lieu of the wind.

Also, when walking around or being attacked the cow will often say "Moo" as if it had been typed by a player. This, however, does not affect anything when playing.

In the cow field north-east of Lumbridge castle, players can also easily make money. There are three ways to make money from the cow field:

1. To trade other players for raw beef and then go to the Grand Exchange and sell them for money.
2. To pick up raw beef, cowhide, and bones off the ground.
3. To kill the cows yourself and pick up their contents.
