Both, but many cows are used as dairy animals so beef from young animals is more likely to come from bullocks. Beef from older animals is more likely to come from former dairy cows.
There is no such thing as a male cow. All cows are female. A bull or a steer is what a cow mates with.
From TexasDolly: If you mate a cow (or heifer) with a steer you're not going to have a lot of luck in the breeding department since a steer has been castrated. You live in NY right?
Steaks can come from both cows and bulls. But most often steaks come from steers and heifers, as cows and bulls tend to have too-strong-tasting meat to be used in steaks. Instead, they're best used as hamburger and sausages.
Male cows don't exist. There are only cows and bulls, no female cows, male cows, male bulls, female bulls. With that said, only cows (which are, by definition, mature female bovines that have given birth to at least one calf) are ones that have cervixes, bulls do not. Bulls have their major reproductive organs close to or mostly outside their body, cows have theirs inside.
Cows are always female. A male cow is a bull, and a calf is born of a bull father and cow mother. Technically, an ox is a castrated male, but any bovine draught annimal is commonly called 'ox' or 'oxen'.
no For cattle, cow is the designation for female, which has an udder and teats. The male, the bull, like most mammals, has rudimentary nipples but no teats and no udder.
no because cows are female. bulls are male
Beef cows are all female, because the proper term for a cow is a mature female that has already given birth at least once or twice.
All bulls are male. Cows are female, mostly.
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.
No. Milk does not come from male cattle: it comes from female cattle (i.e., cows).

you feed male cows (bulls) the same thing that you feed female cows so mostly grass.
No, only the "female cows" do. Male "cows" are not cows. They are bulls or steers, which do not produce milk. Female bovines that have had a calf (or at least two) are called cows and those cows produce milk. Young female bovines that have not had a calf are called heifers, and they are not able to produce milk because they have not had a calf yet.
A cow. Male = bull Female = cow Castrated male = steer
Bulls are male cowsWhen a bull and a cow (all cows are female)'mate' if the cow has a 'male' cow its called a 'bull'
No. Cows are female mature bovines. Bulls are male. Thus there is no such thing as a "boy cow" or "male cow."
