Virtually all animals can float. Including cows. It has to do with their build and size and location of lungs. They not only float they float with their head held out of the water unlike humans and other apes. Of the apes only humans can float or swim (yes I know some monkeys swim but they are monkeys and not true apes).
On a four legged animal the legs sink downward and the back of the body. The lungs float and raise the head and nose out of water. This is how cows float. It is also why deer have been known to swim for 50 to 100 miles out into the great lakes.
Humans do not float this way and to float with our nose and mouth out of water we have to float on our backs. Gorillas, chimps, orangutangs and gibbons have bones that are too dense to allow them to float at all. They tend to sink!
no they too heavy (no offended cows) plus i wish all cows are good as this cow in this vedio (go to youtube and type super funny and look for the cow part) altho i don't want all cows to end up like the ending but enjoy

Yes they float. Some cows with leg or back injuries actually float as part of their treatment, to take the pressure off the injured part.
Cows can float and swim. Have you never seen a western movie with cows swimming across a river?
I dont know about cows floating but i kno porcupines float
