Poll: Is Gateway Cow Male or Female?

[Peetoeng]

This clue might help:

Have you seen the TV ad in which Ted (Gateway ceo, president, whatever) was having a secret rendevouz with the cow in storage?

:Q

This reminds me of that comerical I think it is for some type of breakfast cerel. The guy gets up early in the morning and discovers that there is no milk in the fridge so he goes out and tries to milk the cow, but his freinds in the house say to each other "are you gonna tell him it's a boy cow??" and the other guy says "he will find out sooner or later" I never understood that cause it is a female cow you can tell by looking at it.

The cow has a male voice, but no horns. I say "Kinda both male and female"

Theres not much to tell, and it's not very interesting in the first place.
Basically Ted Waitt got a loan to start his computer buisness, and he started it in a barn. His family raised holstein cows (the ones with the white and black spots) so when the company got big they picked it as the mascott in order to "remember their roots"

When female cows speak, they are often confused for male cows because of their deep voices. I have been fooled by this on more than one occasion. The male cow voice is also very deep, but the difference is only apparent to people who are familiar with the cow dialect.

I stand in "udder" amazement that this is actually a poll.
A cow is female, a heifer is a virgin cow, and a bull is a male cow.
MOOOOO!

all famous cows are named bessie, and bessie is a girl name

Farm lesson for the day:

Both bulls and cows can have horns. Many breeds are "polled", which means they don't even develop horns. The polled condition is desirable for dairy and beef cattle so they can't hurt workers or each other, especially in close quarters. Since the gene for horns is recessive, it is hard to stamp out because polled animals can carry the horned gene. If a calf (male or female) gets "horn genes" from both parents, it will grow horns.
Some cattle, such as Longhorns and the bulls used for bullfights and rodeos are bred to have horns because they look bad*ss.

if cows = girls
and bulls = boys
what do you call that species in general?

Confusion is understandable!
Just use "cattle". If I get up in the 15 degree weather to go feed the cattle, I mean I am feeding the whole herd. Cows, calves, bulls, heifers, and steers!
