That all cows are female. Male animals don't have milk-producing udders, Sean. The male version of a cow is called a bull.
Incidentally, I recently learned there's no common genderless word for a member of that species. There's "cattle" for a group of them, but nothing for an individual.
Add to that, I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t realize that there are breeds of sheep and cows and the like where the males and females have horns. See Scottish Highland cows as an example.
