minus-squareRhynoplazlinkfedilink1•2 years agoThere 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.
