cows
A mature female bovine, cow or heifer, typically one that has borne at least one calf; in biblical usage, commonly serves as a general term for a female cattle animal and often distinguished from the male (bull/par). May refer specifically to a young cow not yet calved (heifer) in certain contexts, but more generally denotes any female of the species. Used in legal, sacrificial, and narrative passages.
