You bet! The proper and specific term for a cow is a mature female animal (including domesticated bovines, elephants, buffaloes, bison, whales, giraffes, rhinoceroses, etc.) that has already given birth to a calf.

Yes. "Cattle" is a plural noun that encompasses all types, genders, ages and classes of domesticated animals that fall under the species name Bos primigenius. Since the word "cow" is an albeit colloquial term that refers to such species, it is actually a term for the female of this species, and many others, thus the words "female cow" does not actually exist per se. Cows are, in terms of the domesticated farm animal, mature female bovines which have borne a calf.

Not exactly. Cows are mature female bovines. Oxen are cattle trained for pulling carts, plows, wagons, and can include cows, steers, bullocks, bulls or heifers. If a cow where to be trained for draft work, then she would be considered a female ox.

Cows are always female, no matter how construed it might get. A so-called "male cow" is a bull.

Somewhat simplified, cows are females and bulls are males.
The term "cow" means female adult.

The term "bull" means male adult.

A cow is female, although people call a herd of mixed male and females cows, which are more properly called cattle.
