well, not only the cows fart but also affect the atmosphere and thus the Ozone hole!!
Details aside, Cows methane does present a definite threat to the biota. It's believed 18% of the greenhouse effect is caused by methane, putting it second on the list of offending gases behind carbon dioxide. Methane breaks down in the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide, ozone, and water, all of which absorb heat. The temperature of the atmosphere rises, the ice caps melt, and next thing you know you're pumping the Atlantic Ocean out of your basement!!

Cows are some of the best farters in the animal world. They are responsible for most of the Methane gas in the environment today.
I don't know the actual number or amount of farts they produce, but it's pretty impressive.

Yes, quite a lot. Being ruminants, they produce a tremendous amount of methane gas. In some primitive villages, cow dung is collected into a vat and the resulting gas is used to power a generator to give the villagers some electricity.

yeah, and what you do is that you stand behind it and when it farts light a match....away from the cow as not to hurt it...
