Phil "Pheagle" Adler - Holstein Form: Model Sheet
A reference for my bovine form, Phil is a dairy farmer with a red-and-white Holstein cow form. Phil's spot pattern is open to interpretation as long as his facial pattern does not change. He is strictly a male cow, even though he has an udder, and his cowbell is often a catalyst for transformations.

Species Cow

All Mammals, by definition, have mamalry glands.
There can be, and do exist, bulls with udders...
But when using the term "cow" the issue can get confused.
To clarify;
"Defition of Cow
1
a : the mature female of cattle (genus Bos)
b : the mature female of various usually large animals (as an elephant, whale, or moose)
2
: a domestic bovine animal regardless of sex or age."
The association with the term "Cow" and the subfamily bovinae,
more commonly "bovine",
is more a social construct than a concise association.
If it was just becoming dairy cattle,
would feel less compelled to bring up my inner confiction with the term...
(As in I am expressing my own frustrations with modern terminology,
less your specific use of it.)
I am glad you clairify that you retain you "male" status,
but I guess I'm just a language geek at heart...
>..<;;
P.S.
Grew up raising farm animals and interacting with ranchers,
I appologize for the impromptu rant!

You are absolutely validated in using the term,
I was selfishly using my last comment to vent frusterations on the issue.
As for "bulls cannot have udders",
It is actually a grey area we are trying to define...
There are Hermaphrodite polar bears, chimeric half-breeds and multi-headed reptiles that we have observed and recorded.
Whould a bull or steer typically have one?
Not that we know of.
Could they?
If the genes and environment supported it...
Yes, IMHO.
Heck; male humans are known to lactate in several natural scenerios!
Regardless of existential debate,
My main peeve was how the term "cow" remains ambiguous in modern day.

Interesting, male cow with an udder. No cock I assume? I do know there's an artist on here that draws male bipeds with udders instead of balls, so I could picture something like that here. Also is he only feral, or does he have a biped/morph form (wasn't sure if those were mid transformation or morph form)?
