Original text on this topic:
Cows on the other hand have home ranges that overlap with those of other cows and may overlap the territories of as many as seven territorial bulls (Owen-Smith, 1973). In areas with good grazing and water the home range of individual cows may be as small as 6-8 km? . With deteriorating food supplies this may increase to 10-15 km? and, if there is no water available, be increased to 20 km?.
