The male
Chromosomes. XX=female XY=male
The sex of the offspring is always determined by the sperm: this is the same in pretty well all animal life, including human reproduction. The gamete in a cow always carries the X chromosome. The gametes in a bull carry both X and Y chromosomes, which mean that if the sperm with an X chromosome fuses with the gamete of the cow, the offspring will be female. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome and fuses to the female gamete of the cow, then the offspring will be male.
