A "cow" isn't always a "cow," when it's a heifer, for example. What is the definition of a "heifer"?
Answer A female that hasn't had a calf
In cow parlance, a female that has yet to have a calf is a "heifer". Strictly speaking, the word "cow" only refers to a female that's already given birth to offspring. For the dudes: a mature, intact male used to breed is a bull. A male that has been castrated and will never impregnate a female is a steer.
