Perler Bead 3-D Minecraft Cow

Cows tend to walk around slowly and aimlessly, mooing and breathing occasionally. They will avoid walking off cliffs high enough to cause fall damage, and usually stay out of water.

A cow will follow the player if he/she is holding wheat, but will stop if the player travels too far away (approximately 10 blocks).

In the Console Edition, cows are unaware of cliffs, ravines, and holes in the ground, leading them to occasionally fall and die.
