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.

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.
