Wild cows are just called "wild cows" or feral cows. This is because they have not had much human contact throughout their lives and act in a highly fearful or defensive state when in the company of humans.

Cows, though, also refer to females of other species besides the domesticated bovid. Bison females are called cows, which are also truly wild animals (exceptions are those raised privately which have been crossbred with cattle in the past). Elephants, moose, caribou, rhinos, hippos, and many other animals whose females are called "cows" are also wild.
