Colloquially speaking, yes. Technically and practically speaking, no. Bulls are the opposite sex of a cow: a cow is a mature female bovine that has had at least one or two calves. Bulls are intact male bovines that breed cows. Both, as explained previously, are names for the mature adults of either sex of the domestic bovine species Bos primigenius.

In a way, but remember male cows don't exist, unless they are male and look like a cow, which is often if you find a "bull" that looks like a cow but has testicles where there should be an udder.
