What am I?
I'm amazing 'cause I've got the force
To hold down a cow or a horse
As you've doubtlessly found,
I am always around,
And I'm constantly working, of course.

Hint
There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.
Answer
Seconds in a week.
Reasoning
There are 60 x 60 x 24 x 7 = 604,800 seconds in a week.
There are 60 x 24 x 365 = 525,600 minutes in a (non-leap) year.
