Compared with cows and pigs, both have only one tail, but the pig's tail is cheaper, mainly because pigs can eat almost all of them, whether it is pig's ears, pig's tail, pig's trotters or pig's skin, but cows are different. Have you ever heard of eating cow's feet and ears? Basically all cows eat beef, and the only thing they can eat is the cow's tail, so the market price is higher!
