    Well, if it's just a model + animations, you're better advised to sell it on stores that specialize in selling 3D assets. Consider who would be using this cow in their game? There's few games that could use a cow, and devs who want to build a farm sim or similar would be looking for an entire farm asset collection, at a minimum several animals (cow, lamb, pig, goat, chicken, etc).

    Besides that, the cow isn't good quality to be honest. Looks like vertex-coloring only, it has staring puppet eyes, animation is simplistic and not believable: only the feet move, feet move at a fixed pace, head bobs repetitively, the rest of the body is not affected by motion at all. Then there's only 3 animations. Switching between the head down and head up anims will require animation blending, and that will look awful because distance and orientation of the head in those two anim sets is too far off for it to blend in a believable way.

    Take a look at this one for comparison, third thumbnail shows a slow-mo walk anim of the wireframe:

    And that Cow is $199 , you get what you pay for.

    Pretending that the Unity store is only for high quality assets is a joke.
    Obviously I would not bother trying to sell this on the Unreal asset store.

    Even when trying to "sell" free asset, I get this rejection on some simple (indeed) packages, but which offers features that are missing natively into unity... Judging the quality of a package by it's complexity rather than its
    usefulness is pretty stupid on my opinion...

    Is this a toon cow or a realistic cow ?

    Depending on this might be perceived differently is my guess

    For example is this is targeted as a realistic cow, then maybe the texture etc are not up to par for example

    Well, it is too simple. Don’t you think? Okay, you may have put in a few hours so it may not feel simple for you, but consider all the other character assets in the store.

    It doesn’t even have animations, and it’s just a single character. What dev would make use of that? With what other assets could they combine it with? Make it animated and add a couple more animated characters and that’s when it starts not being too simple anymore.

    You’ll find more tips in my blogpost about these “asset is too simple” issues: https://codesmile.de/2023/02/08/is-your-asset-too-simple/

    Back when the store was new you might have been able to get onto it with that asset, but over time the average "bang for one's buck" of an asset has risen tremendously. Think of it as the "you have to be this tall" to ride the rollercoaster signs at a carnival. You have to achieve a reasonably close level of value in your asset.

    Here are two humanoid panda character packs on the asset store. With what they include both of these are ready to be used as soon as you import them. Yours will take more work and potentially more money thanks to having a single animation (an Idle).

    One character mesh, one appearance with multiple resolutions, 18 animations

    One character meshes, two appearances, 26 animations
    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/humanoid-cartoon-panda-206347

    A low quality cow with three animations. Here are the first three packs (there were more packs than I thought there would be) that I liked the looks of. That last one is way more money than the others but it's likewise a much higher quality pack too. If I needed a cow that could stand out that would be it.

    One mesh, three appearances, 14 animations
    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/mammals/cow-5030

    One mesh, two appearances, 50 animations
    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/mammals/cow-realistic-82765

    Cow and calf meshes, three appearances, 92 animations
