Cow topping 

The selective removal of the extremities of a cow. Such trimming can give better shape to the cow and will encourage further growth.

When cows grow too leggy, it can be helpful to lop excess growth, which will promote the cow to fill out instead of growing too tall and spindly.

Not to be confused with cow tipping, which is the act of giving monetary reward to cows that have provided good service.
