That is not a cow
No? What is it?

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I suppose it could be a "clever"
way of saying they are vegan or something. Since they are already mashed they could have flavoring like chicken stock or something... IDK but it's definitely silly.

Just don't try to milk it. Looks like a bull to me.
Bull
They "milk" bulls all the time. Not a job I would want!
Speaking of jobs I wouldn't want, an exjockey once worked on a stud farm. One of the studs was a stakes winning horse but very light in the front quarters. When they came to his stall to get him in breeding season he would be very excited. He would rear and walk all the way to the breeding barn on his hind legs. The groom would just throw an arm across his back to guide him.
Unfortunately, he was always overexcited. Two strokes and he would would pull out and spray! Since the sperm was worth $20,000 a straw many years ago they always had two or three grooms with clean buckets positioned close by to try to catch it. With the horse excited and rearing sperm flew everywhere including all over the grooms with buckets!
Anytime you get to thinking you have a bad job ...

All cattle are referred to as cows. You'll never hear anyone refer to a heard as cows and bulls. It's sort of an inclusive term amongst those in the know. Cows, bulls, heifers, steers, calves, etc. All cows. (You think you know more about cows than the owner of that bull in the photo? )

Of course this is another silly little argument, but what the hell…
I would argue the exact opposite. Having grown up in Wisconsin and knowing several dairy farmers, I’ve never heard anyone refer to their herd and the generic term “cows”. In fact, they take great care to differentiate their dairy “cows“ from the bulls.
Interestingly, dairy farmers are farmers and not ranchers. Damned if I know why either…
Perhaps the farmer in question figured that anybody stupid enough to shoot a head of cattle either wouldn’t know the difference, or he simply wanted to stick with a word simple enough for the morons to understand.
If you travel the country you'll hear different dialects and references. I live in Cajun country. Almost half my friends and people I shoot with are oil field workers. The other half are farmers and ranchers. I can go ten minutes down the road and see all the cows you want on one side of the road and all the sugar cane on the other side of the road. I'm riding horses at least once a month - trail rides, Mardi Gras, and round ups. I'm willing to bet my "neighborhood" looks a little different than Wisconsin. We don't have much dairy industry down here because of the soil but that same soil helps breed a lot of beef cows. My neighbors in Texas also refer to their cattle as cows. When we talk "cows" down here everyone assumes we're talking beef and not dairy. This whole conversation started because I just wanted to educate Boogie about animals having more than one label.Of course this is another silly little argument, but what the hell…

Hope you're safe from the storm in Florida.
Ranchers typically have a spread that the cattle openly graze on and shift which fields they graze on from time to time, where as dairy farmers keep their cows in pins close enough to herd them in for milking operations.Of course this is another silly little argument, but what the hell…

He wrote bull on the first couple but they kept getting their eyes shot out so he switched to cow.Perhaps the farmer in question figured that anybody stupid enough to shoot a head of cattle either wouldn’t know the difference, or he simply wanted to stick with a word simple enough for the morons to understand.
I’ve always thought of it like this…farmers have fences, ranchers have ranges….they all got cows.
