Answer:
An adult female that has had a calf (or two, depending on regional usage) is a cow. A young female before she has had a calf of her own and is under three years of age is called a heifer. A young female that has had only one calf is occasionally called a first-calf heifer.
What are boy and girl cows called?
Boy cows are called bulls unless they have been castrated in which case they are called steers. Girl cows before they have had a baby are called heifers. Ones that have had one or more babies are called cows.
