it is easy to consider moos for food(meat and/or milk) and leather,horn ,bone etc but they can be of other significant uses as well.
they are ace at turning marginal land into good grazing/ salad forage
they can be used as draught animals and some can be ridden .
moo wrangling is best learned from experts ,it does take bottle and effort but they are easier to feed and maintain than horses.
some moos are pretty good perimeter guards ,it would be a brave cattle thief that messed with dexter steers protecting their mums and baby brothers and sisters.
on a similar theme some moo mums can defend an area rather well(my fight with the killer kerry was rather interesting)
i recon if i had a choice i would go for moos as draught animals rather than any of the equine options and if it was eat the moo or the horse first the horse would be lasagne and my brittle pony jerky asap.
