There is no animal called "cow".
Cow is a term for females of multiple species.
The animal that gives us milk is called cattle. Female cattle are cows. Male cattle are bulls.
I always thought cattle was a synonym for livestock, but it is a species of animal.
Words mean how people use them. There is absolutely an animal called a cow, regardless of sex, and it's a synonym for cattle.
You are also correct that cow means female is many species.
Ok
$10 says you are the person that makes everyone bummed when you show up .
Edit: you sure have a lot of accounts to downvote me with lil fella. I bet you'll have a great time talking about it tomorrow ~~alone~~ I mean with your "friends".
