Plate III, Figure 2. The Cow
The outline of the horse is sketched again (in red) and the feet of the
horse has to shorten into those of the cow.
From this result that the
neck does not have to be as long: only as AF (brown line) when raised and
as AY (green line) when grazing.
The neck does not need to shorten
therefore, like in the horse, but raises in a diagonal direction that the
head remains always lower, because of its weight and its horns, than the
withers at point "B" (red circle), which for that reason is not as high as
in the horse.
