How did we determine the sex of the cow here lol

 

[nhbenz]

Well it doesn't have the pretty eyelashes that Elsie the cow has (Borden's mascot)

 

[Subterranean]

Made to look like a Greek or Minoan bull head statue like those of ancient times?

All cows are female.
The males are bulls.

And if I'm wrong about that -- it's because I'm a city-boy!

 

[jtw1313]

Do female cows have horns I'm a city boy to lol some country boy needs to clear this up

Let me get some more pics up here...... I'm pretty sure there was some felt on the bottom but someone ripped it off

It's a Bull. In all of history I've never seen a Heifer put on a pedestal for glory or worship. Remember the Disney cartoon Ferdinand the Bull? It wasn't Ferdinand the Heifer.

Pretty sure it's a steers head. Looks angry

 

[BosnMate]

The size of it's horns makes it a young animal, and it doesn't have a very masculine face, so I say heifer. Could be a steer, they don't develop a masculine face either. If you wait to long to castrate a bull, and the calf has a masculine face, it will cost you money at the sales barn. The buyer will look at the critter, and say "proud cut," and will look or check no further. In that case you loose several cents a pound on the animal. There are breeds of cattle that don't have horns, angus is one, that none of that breed have horns. Could be the artist intended for the statue to be a young bull, but he didn't do a very good job.
