Yes and no. They are not called "male cows" because technically, male cows don't exist. They, specifically referring to male non-fixed or castrated cattle, are called "bulls."

Cows are specifically female mature cattle. Bulls are male cattle. Vive la difference! Cows and bulls are also specific names of the sexes of various other non-bovine animals such as elephants, rhinos, hippos, moose, elk, caribou, whales, seals, bison and buffalo, among many others.

Please access the related link below for more information.
Cattle, scientifically known as "Bos taurus" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow. It's almost like learning another language where instead of being called a male he's called a Bull and instead of her being called a female she's called a Cow. A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation.

In fact you can purchase Bulls. If you would like to know where to purchase a bull simply open your search engine and type in "Bulls for Sale" then your region and it should supply you with a good amount of information.


No. A cow, by definition is a female. The animals in question are bovine. Male bovine are called bulls or steer. Female bovine are called heifers or cows.

No. If this "male cow" has an udder then it's most definitely a female.

Just don't try to milk a boy cow.    It takes a while and you don't get enough for a glass full.

Are male cows called?

No: Male cows do not exist. Cows are ONLY female mature bovines that have had at least one or two calves. A steer is not a cow, it is a castrated male bovine (though it is often termed as a part of the colloquial word "cow," which is incorrect, and which can be understandably very confusing for those who are not familiar with terms involving Cows and Cattle). A bull is an intact male bovine used for breeding. So a so-called "male cow" can be either a bull or a steer, depending whether it has testicles or not.
