∙ 11y agoFamily: Bovidae, Subfamily: Bovinae, Genus: Bos, Species: taurus. Resulting in B. taurus. ("The cow is of the bovine ilk; one end is moo, the other milk." Ogden Nash). Quoted only to remind us that the term cow is female, cattle is a collective term and doesn't imply gender, while a bull is the male of the species. An altered bull is a steer and young cattle go by the name calf or calves which also doesn't imply gender, and a young female of the species (under two years of age) is called a heifer.

∙ 12y agoBos primigenius taurus, primarily. Though there are Bos primigenius indicus dairy cows as well, though they are primarily found in the Middle East, and East Asia and most of Africa. This species of dairy cow is much less common than the Holstein or Friesian which is B. p. taurus, since such animals are used for subsistence dairies, not commercial or large-scale dairies common in Europe, North America, South America and Australia.

∙ 12y agoNot too sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the scientific name for a cow and a calf, for a cow-calf farm/operation, or a cow's calf? Without clarification there is no hope that this question can actually be answered.
The scientific name for a cow is Bos taurus. A calf is the offspring of a cow and can be referred to as a Bos taurus calf.
