> Just one question, "Larry" the cow, surely a cow is female and a bull is male ?

Wow, you're right.  I was about to argue with you but decided to follow
my own advice and look it up first.  According to the Oxford dictionary
it's a female bovine at least one year old that has given birth.

So, is there a non-sex implying term other than bovine?  I can't find
one.
