Female cattle are referred to as heifers until they freshen(give birth) after which they are referred to as cows. Unlike human labels such as girl and woman with cattle age is not a factor. A heifer can be older than a cow. The term cow would be equivalent to the human term mother.

A dairy cow if already given birth to one or two calves, or a dairy heifer if an immature female. See the related question below for more.
