In the English language, there is no masculine word for a cow. A cow is the name given to a mature female bovine, colloquially to the general name encapsulating all domestic bovines regardless of type, breed, sex, size, use, or age.

In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

The noun 'cattle' is a common gender noun, a word for male or female bovine.

The noun for intact mature male bovines is bull.

The noun for a male castrated before reaching puberty is steer.

The noun for a male castrated after puberty is stag.

The noun for a mature female bovine is cow.

The noun for a female bovine that has not had a calf is heifer.

There is no 'feminine' form or noun of a cow because a cow is already female or feminine: she is a female mature bovine that has had one or two calves.

The nouns for a male are steer for a castrated male raised for beef, and a bull for an intact adult male.
A cow is feminine. The masculine counterpart is bull.
