I just realized something. The cow is MALE! Cows are female. Bulls are the males. So what's up with Steven the cow/bull?

"Im more insane then you"Axuley. Cow is the proper name for a Femail Bovine.
as b***h is the proper name for a femail canine.
And as Dog is the proper term for a MALE canine.
So its a she....but with a he's name?

Insomnesiac Cow is a general term. Can be for female or male. I know, but it's not very politically correct. Like "mailmen" refers to anyone who carrys the mail, but it's more fun to get very specific about it. So Steven = Gender confused.

Yes, that would be the best way to describe him, since he does have udders and all. >>;;

FortenraAskasa I just realized something. The cow is MALE! Cows are female. Bulls are the males. So what's up with Steven the cow/bull? 
Um, actually cows are male or female. Males are sub-named Bulls but they are also cows as cows is a gender-neutral term. ^__^
If you want to be technical all cows are oxen and thus should be called ox. biggrin

Actually there are different names for a bunch of things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovinehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CattleA bull is an uncastrated male cattle. A young female before she has calved the second time is called a heifer (pronounced "heffer"). A young female that has had only one calf is sometimes called a "first-calf heifer." The castrated male is then called a bullock or steer, unless kept for draft purposes, in which case it is called an ox (plural oxen), not to be confused with the related wild musk ox. If castrated as an adult, it is called a stag. An intact male is called a bull. An adult female over two years of age (approximately) is called a cow. cows are not Ox.

That's what I was saying in a different topic. XDDD But then I decided I shouldn't care so much because it's funny anyway.

Let's just let what's happened happen! Steven is a male cow. Even the NPC cow is a male cow. On earth, that might be odd, but this is gaia, and if aliens on gaia can happen, so can male cows. 3nodding

"Strictly speaking, the singular noun for the domestic bovine is ox: a bull is a male ox and a cow is a female ox."
