What animal breeds become a cow or bull?
This is a very strange question, because no matter what breed a cow or bull is, they are going to stay that breed and that sex no matter what. Also, a breed is one that is defined by certain physical characteristics such as size, coat colouration, and genetics, but never by sex or gender. For example, the Hereford breed cannot be a breed without both Hereford cows and bulls. These cows and bulls were born as Herefords, they never suddenly or magically became Hereford cows or bulls when they reached a certain size or age. The same goes for all other breeds of cattle. Looking at the question again, it seems you are asking what animal breeds have sexes named "cows" and "bulls" in them. The answer to that is bovines (cows/cattle) and buffalo.
