A cow can be any age when slaughtered, especially if you are referring to a female bovine that has given birth to a calf. She can be slaughtered at 3 years of age or as old as 20 years of age. If you are using the term "cow" in a very loose manner, typically a "cow" (being a feeder steer or heifer) is usually slaughtered at around 14 to 24 months of age.
