Cow = female bovine who has given birth
Heifer = female bovine who has not had a calf
Bull = male bovine
Steer = castrated male bovine

And that concludes today's lesson of "Cattle 101"

Michelle,

Does "Cattle 201" cover Calf, Yearling, and Ox? Maybe also beef cattle vs. dairy cows too?

Thanks

Next week we will cover goats.

At least - she didn't include the parts of a cow...

And seriously, M, thank you for straighting up the difference between the names. Now, I know a little more than some of the gEEks I work with everyday!:thumbup:

:rofl: :rofl:

You're welcome. I think. :confused:

So, next week "goats"

I know nothing about goats except that they smell really bad.

There's one around here that likes to hang out with the deer population.....:confused:

And cattle don't? I guess for city slickers like me they all smell bad. :rofl:
