A cow is a cow is a cow. Whether it is a beef cow or dairy cow. It is a
female cattle. Whether a cow is used for beef or dairy depends upon the
breed. Female beef cows are mostly used for reproducing. A steer is a
castrated male cattle used for beef (obviously, it can't be milked). A Bull
is an intact male cattle used usually for reproduction of beef cattle, dairy
cows are usually artificially inseminated. A heifer is a young cow, usually
one that has never had a calf or on occasion, only had one calf (known as a
first time heifer)
For those still interested (HA) there are also springers (pregnant cows)
bullocks (young intact male) and bangers which have some disease I don't
know anything about, they can only be used for beef. The will have a big B
branded on the side of their neck.
I like cows, they have pretty eyes.

This peeked my interest :) They have a disease, but are still used for beef. Does anyone know what disease this is?

Linguistically speaking, that's true. The medieval word was pluralized
"kyne" (more than one cow). There's a lot of linguistic coolness around
cow/beef. The reason it's "boeuf" when it's on the table is because of the
Norman Invasion of England, and the English loss of the Battle of Hastings.
(It's why a deer on the table is "venison," and a chicken on the table is
"poultry," etc.)

And in Australia they run whole herds of bulls for slaughter. This meat is
extremely lean and is added to regular ground beef to lean it up.
Some cattle come naturally without horns, such as Angus and Polled
Herefords, most others are dehorned at an early age. Horned Herefords
aren't dehorned and weights are placed on the ends so they curve instead of
sticking straight out. Shorthorns are both beef and dairy cattle, one of
the few breeds that is generally so designated.
And two beef breeds that are usually not sold for beef are Watusi and
Longhorns. They are both rich man's toys now.

It is bangs or brucellosis and it causes abortions in cattle. It is passed
through contaminated body fluids and in milk. It is almost non-existant in
the U.S. now.
