you need a knife/machete/similar item to skin and quarter the animal... you get raw meat(needs to be cooked) and skin for crafting a backpack(unsure if its used with anything else atm)

What kind of loot did you think of? I have never seen a cow carrying guns or cans of food, so the only loot to get from them is the skin and the meat ;)

does anyone know if you can make the bags out of cowhide or does it have to be a specific animal hide?

you can make lether sac out of deer and cows and for the wild boar you can make an extra item like a shelter over a fireplace....never been able to try yet as I am looking for a wild boar

the sac out of boar is only 6 slots but if you have protective cases you can have 2 extras slots

No but deer makes a bag with just a knife. Pork makes a small backpack with rope and a really good backpack with sticks and rope.

Is a "cow" not a piñata...

FYI: the better the quality of the knife you use to skin them, the better the quality of the meat is you get...example: badly damaged knife: a gazillion pieces of meat being around 5%, a pristine knife: roughly 8 to 10 meat with up to 90/05%...

You need a machete or a knife, they drop 3-6 steaks and some pelt.
lol, I imagine you're sneaking through the woods, you spot a lone deer.

You stalk it through the woods being careful not to step to loudly, you raise your weapon and hold your breath, you haven't eaten for nearly two days, this is your chance to finally get some meat.

You fire one of your few bullets, the deer is hit, it runs a few paces and slumps to the ground, you run over to it excited.

The deer has exploded into several steaks and a nicely rolled bundle of skins.
