3. "cow" and "him" does not compute

a cow is a mature female bovine (or I suppose certain other species but for the sake of this discussion)
usually 2 to 3 years of age and having had a calf. Prior to that she would be a heifer.

A bull is an intact male bovine, a castrated male is a steer.

calves are the babies and may be gender identified as heifer- or bull- calves. Youngsters are further categorized as weaners or weanlings (or just "weaned"), yearlings and sometimes two-year-olds.

furrin countries sometimes use other terminology like bullocks and oxen but who the hell know what that means?:P

8. Right, it's either a cow or a bull (or as you say, a steer). nt

9. You're right Kali

We had both a milk 'cow' and a 'beef critter' (and a couple of pigs and a goat) when I was in HS... I just copied what they said from the article.

Can you imagine how useless that thing would be on your ranch? :-)

14. No, I know...

It is a stuiped mistake and someone should call them on it.
