A young cow is typically one that is around 3 to 5 years of age. Young cows can also be referred to those heifers that have just had a calf, though they are commonly called "first-calf heifers."
In terms of the general meaning of "cow," it can refer to a calf (young that is less than 6 to 10 months of age and is reliant on its mother's milk) or a heifer (female immature bovine). It can also, to those who are unfamiliar with the difference in genders of cattle, refer to a steer (castrated male bovine) or, sadly, a bull (a more muscular, intact male bovine used for breeding cows and heifers).
