You've 'herd' of a Maverick then?  Wink

An unbranded bovine of either sex is called a "maverick" in the USA and Canada.


And suddenly Tom Cruise' character in Top Gun seems less cool.  Embarrassed

I Wiki searched 'cow' and got nearly the same results. I was surprised that no other species were mentioned.
Such as (cow and bull), Moose, Elephants, buffalo?, ect.
That's because you only searched wickedpedia's controversial urban cowboy definition. Try a dictionary -- even the Dictionary.com link above.



Cool

There was a TV show called Maverick many years ago. 40 years later I find out what maverick means. Unbranded.  Roll Eyes

I thought I was a bit late finding out with the later movie on TV. Glad you were able to garner that infromation.

There was also a TV show during the 60's called "Branded" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branded_(TV_series)

An adult female that has had a calf (or two, depending on regional usage) is a cow. A young female before she has had a calf of her own and is under three years of age is called a heifer  A young female that has had only one calf is occasionally called a first-calf heifer.  Smiley
A cow with a ladder is called a coniving bovine and guilty of trying to get up to the hayloft.

then what's a male cow and male heifer? Huh




There is no male cows or male heifers. They are called bulls or steers.  Wink So if you ever have to milk a cow, they will be the ones without horns.  Cheesy Someone else can explain what a steer is.. I get tears in my eyes when I talk about that. Wink 


Cause if you try to milk a bull, he'll look at you with love in his eyes.... Smiley


Wouldn't advice doing that though. While taking a visit to my relatives in the countryside, I attempted milking cows. There was this silly chicken that kept on eating the cows dairy. I went in front to chase it away and the cow wasn't happy about that it (lightly) head butted me but I got mud all over my designer gumboots. Undecided
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
