What is the gender of cattle?

Answer 1

An adult male sheep is known as a ram (or, in some areas, a tup); a castrated male sheep is called a wether. An adult female sheep is called a ewe (pronounced yooh), or - at lambing time - a dam, and a baby sheep of either sex is a lamb.

Where necessary to list gender of infant sheep, they are referred to as ewe lambs or ram lambs.

A sheep aged between lamb and shearing age is known as a hogget; the title depends on when they cut their first permanent incisors, though the name also involves various factors important to sheep farmers.

Answer 2

It's really hard to say. It depends on what country you are referring to, or whether you are referring to numbers in the entire world. Typically it would be more cows than bulls, but even that can't be exactly true, as there could be just as many cows as bulls, or steers as heifers.

Answer 3

There are many different names that the feminine or masculine name of the bovine would fall under.

If when born it is a female, she will be called a heifer calf, when she turns a year old she will be called a yearling heifer. After she has her first calf she will be known as a first time heifer, after she has her second calf she will then be and remain for the rest of her life a cow.

If when born it is a male, he will be known as a bull calf, if he remains intact when he turns one he will be known as a bull. If he is castrated he will be called a steer.

Answer 4

Genders are primarily male and female. Intact males are bulls; castrated males are steers, oxen or bullocks. Mature females that have had a calf are cows; females that have not had a calf are called heifers.
