What is the difference between “cow” and “cattle”?
why some poeple called the cow as cattle and how it happens that the meat of it called beef. and also just like the pig’s meat called pork. anybody could explain to me. thanks
Cattle is plural and generally refers to the bovine species as a whole. The term isn’t gender specific, so cattle could refer to a bunch of bulls, a bunch of cows, or a mixture. A cow is a single bovine female. The English language treats this animal very strangely; most of the time, we have a single word to refer to either the male or female of any species. For cattle, we only have a plural word.
As for why we use a different name when the animal’s cooked, I’m not sure why, but it’s a widespread practice. Beef for cattle, pork for pigs, poultry for most birds, venison for deer – the list goes on and on. Maybe it has to do with our tendency to want to forget we’re eating dead animals at the dinner table.

Cowboys $4.00 Notorious as the first John Wayne film that does the unthinkable–subject Wayne’s character to a nasty fate after only a short time–the 1972 Cowboys isn’t much more interesting beyond that. The story finds Wayne playing a rancher who takes 11 boys on a cattle drive. They run into a nut case (Bruce Dern) who deprives the kids of their leader, and the rest of the film is a tale of revenge. Mark Ryd… |
