Cows are already female, there's no need to put the added adjective to the word "cows." And I believe you already answered the question already: it's because they are female, which enables them to give birth to young (called a calf) and give milk to feed and nurse that calf. It's like asking why your mother is the one required to produce milk for your baby sister or brother (or even for yourself when you were a baby) and not your father. It's because your mother is female and she has been given the "tools" needed for the job to produce milk for you or your baby sibling. A male cannot do this job: all his requirements are to mate with her to produce more young.

No. Cows are female, they're mature female bovines that have had a calf. Beef cows are genetically selected to produce more beefy frames than dairy cows are, and thus only produce enough milk for their calves. Beef cows are typically not selected for increased milk quantity like other dairy breeds are (including Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss), and thus, unlike dairy cows, do not produce so much milk that their one calf can't drink it all at one nursing.
