Cow Appreciation Day is observed in the United States every second Tuesday of July. Originally launched as a promotional campaign by Chick-fil-A in 1995, it has evolved into a celebration of cows and their contributions to agriculture and society. The day commemorates the significance of cows, which are raised for meat, milk, and leather, and are also valued for their role in producing natural fertilizer. Although Chick-fil-A no longer organizes the event, many people still participate by dressing as cows and opting to eat chicken instead of beef. Activities may include supporting local dairy farmers, visiting cattle farms, and sharing information about cows on social media using the hashtag #CowAppreciationDay. The event highlights the cultural and religious importance of cows in various societies, particularly in Hinduism, where they are revered and protected.
