How to Talk "Cow Talk" ...What the heck it means! #farming #cow #farmlife

What happens here

The video begins with the speaker defining specific terms for cattle: a 'cow' is a female that has had a calf; a 'steer' is a male cow that has been castrated; a 'heifer' is a young female cow that has not yet had a calf; and a 'bull' is an intact male. The speaker humorously notes that he will refer to all of them as 'cows' for simplicity during the herding process.

Goal: The speaker provides a brief educational segment on the correct terminology for different types of cattle, including cow, steer, heifer, and bull, to clarify common misconceptions.

What they say

Cow's terminology lesson. A cow is a female cow that's had a calf. A steer is a male cow with no man part. That's important. A heer is a young female who has not yet had a calf and a bull is a bull if you don't know. But I'm referring to them all as cows. We're handling the cows today in case you get hung up on terminology and think I don't know what I'm talking about.
