We should be able to get food from cows if for no other reason than that it would enable the transportation of food in greater quantities.

Bonuses like this would actually be an excellent way of broadening the difference between races and encouraging different play styles.  And in this particular case it would reinforce the use of Orcs in warlike fashions while helping them catch up in effectiveness to the fairer races.

I like the idea of turning cows into food, when you use them for making saddles and leather armor. It always bothered me, what happens to the rest of the cow? You use the hide to make stuff, but what about all that beef, especially when you use 2 cows to makes saddles. Could make a slaughter house that converts so much meat from used cows, depending on lvl. Be like T2 magic buildings for boosting magic cities, but for people who do lots of production.
Plus could be like a library for people who have lots of cows, converts them to food, but for less then it took to make them.

It's more than just having another food source. My town needs a butcher shop.

Because in every single situation save for getting on and only having minutes to spare to save your town from auto destruction, it would be better to sell the cows and buy food.
