Is it accurate to model a cow as a sphere?

To describe cow's gravity? Pretty much so. Then, for visualization and even for many biological purposes, it's accurate enough to mode the cow as a bunch of organs with known processes happening in them. But that's still far from atoms and quarks that constitute the cow.
