I have been trying to find cows in my world on Minecraft in survival mode and I can't find them anywhere. How do they spawn? Can I do anything to find them?

Peaceful mobs have a very low chance to randomly spawn - you are much more likely to find cows with level/chunk generation. A couple things you may want to consider:
- Keep exploring: Almost all biomes can potentially spawn cows. Just keep looking, and you'll eventually find some. You can coax them back to your house using wheat, or guide them back using a lead.
- Console commands: If you're really desperate for cows, you can give yourself a couple cow spawn eggs. Throw them on the ground to instantly spawn a cow. To give yourself a couple eggs, type this into chat (cheats must be enabled):
/give [PLAYERNAME] 383 2 92
Remember, you only need two cows in order to start a farm. Feeding two cows wheat allows them to spawn a baby cow, who will grow up into an adult cow after about 20 minutes.
