I think that cow is being used in the generic, and inaccurate, sense of being synonymous with cattle.
I'm fairly sure those are steer, not cows.
There are LOADS of names for cows depending on how old they are, what species they are, their gender, if they are being kept for meat or for milk among other shit.
At least in NL all these names still fall under the category "koe" aka cow.
Pink: one year old. Vaars: 1.5 years old, not yet had calves.
I'm verrry sure those are year old cows who haven't had a calf yet. Their udders are flat. Bulls usually have a wider forehead and generally different body shape.
Could be! I just thought I saw dong.
I've been around cows, steer, and bulls, but not enough to notice that kind of difference at a glance in a low res pic. Hell, probably wouldn't catch that kind of thing in high def tbh.
Come to think of it though, older cows aren't usually taken to shows, at least not around here.
