In the movie" Barn Yard", the male cows have udders. I thought male cows were bulls.

Cows are all female, and only the cow has udders. The male Bobine is a bull if he has not been cut for beef production, if he has been cut he is now a STEER: He can not produce milk or breed to make calves either. The cutting act makes the meet taste better when eaten.
This was a cartoon for young people so the producer choose not to show the male sex organs, so they replaced them with cow's udders.
The male Bobine is a BULL or Steer and the female Bobine is a COW with udders.

There is no such thing as a male 'cow'. A cow is by definition female. A bull is male. Yes the movie 'Barnyard' had a blooper. Bulls do not have udders. Bulls do not give milk. All cows can give milk for a while after pregnancy as can all female mammals.

Bovine cows (female cattle) will usually only produce milk after giving birth. Male cattle (bulls) have been known on rare occasions to produce milk, as have unbred cows. They are known as precocious milkers. They don't develop an udder like a milking cow, but they do produce milk.
By the way, not all dairy cattle are black and white (Jerseys, for example, are brown). A steer is a castrated bull.

Uh hello that was a cartoon. It was fantasy and yes and no about cows milk production, heifers (a cow that hasn't given birth yet and is less than 30 months old) don't produce milk until they have given birth to a calf. However, even beef cows give milk, they just don't produce as much as dairy cattle are bred to produce.

There is no such thing as "male cows". Either there are cows or bulls; nothing else. And yes, all cows produce milk not only for human consumption, but basically to sustain life of their own off-spring.

no you don't milk male cows they don't have udders. udders are the nipples that female cows use to feed calves and for milk. dairy cows are the white and black ones.
