Use wheat to lure the cows to your farm. Walk up to the animals and hold wheat in your hands. If you do this, they will start following you.

Having lured a couple of animals to your farm, feed them wheat. Hearts will appear above them and they will begin to multiply. Soon a calf will appear next to the adult cows. Cows can start breeding again after five minutes, and their children will grow up in 15-20 minutes. If you feed a calf with wheat once, the time it takes to grow up is reduced by 10%. Young cows, like other baby animals in Minecraft, do not give any drops after death.

So, if the player ate rotten meat, milk compensates for the damage from it. Also, a bucket of milk will come in handy during the exploration of mines and just night walks. If a poisonous spider attacks and stings you, you can immediately neutralize the infection.
