Hello All

I know this may sound a dumb question but something is puzzling me about a wonderful farm animal that we all know and many including myself love to eat.

The Male is called a Bull
The Female is called a Cow
In plural they are called Cattle

But what is the animals name in its singlar tense? Not in Latin but in English. If the word Cow refers to the female then that cannot be it, there must be another word surely!?

Wikipedia has told me much about Latin names and classifications for this animal but what is it's name is in English is puzzling me. Anybody able to help ?
