If bison, oxen, etc have male and females, ie. cows and bulls, what animal speciese are those things

Cattle is collective, and bovine is the genus and includes ox, bison etc. Cow is the female so what is the animal, ie - Cat has a tom and a queen, sheep has a yew and ram, canine has a dog and *****.

If bison, oxen, etc have male and females, ie. cows and bulls, what animal speciese are those things we milk?

Oxen are actually castrated males, so there are no female oxen.

The things we milk are "bos taurus" in Latin. In English they are known collectively as "cattle" and "cows." As a collective noun, "cows" does not necessarily mean females, but includes males as well, just as "geese" includes ganders, and "men" includes women in English.

After all, "cowboys" probably handle more steers (castrated males) than intact males or females, but they do handle all ages and genders.

A member of the species "bos taurus" whose sex is unknown can also be referred to as a cow. I include a link to a "cow printout" which specifies that only female cows have udders, and that females are called cows and males are called bulls.

We are not asking about gender names. Horses have mares, stallions, geldings... and so on... I have asked the same question. Cattle is not the answer. The latin name isn't the answer. This seems to be a nameless animal. Report It


Female domestic cattle - cows

Female goats - nannies

Female sheep - ewes

Is that what you mean?
the fridge?
We milk mammals as they are the animals that produce milk.
Rattlesnakes.
Good question, and I think the answer is "cattle" but that's only an educated guess - let's see what others say
