Hi Wen,

This is the expected format when using the Table Browser, please see 
this previously answered question for more information: 
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2010-February/021361.html

You can download the GTF (for cow) directly from Ensembl here: 
ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-62/gtf/bos_taurus/

Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further 
questions.
