Cows tend to produce much more milk per day than a human female can. Cow milk also contains lactose and casein, which human milk doesn't.

Milk fat is not a constant in cows. Different kinds of cows produce higher or levels of milk fat. Buffalo are similar. In cattle, the milk contains between 3 to 5 %, depending on feed and breed. In buffalo milk the average fat content is usually 7 to 8% but may be as high as 13%-16% in some breeds. These are all breeds of water buffalo not native to the United States. The American Bison that we call buffalo are not domesticated. Therefore, they do not milk well and prefer to graze.

Yes, a cow is a female domestic bovine that has had a calf. However the word cow also refers to female buffalo and bison, elephants, whales, seals, etc. The opposite of a cow is a bull.

Oxen are also domestic bovines just like cattle are, except that they are male, castrated (like steers), have horns, and are trained to pull carts and wagons. An ox is the same as a horned steer, except that it's been trained by humans. No oxen have "girlfriends." Their mothers (or dams) are cows, their sisters are cows and/or heifers, brothers are oxen, steers or bulls, and their sires (or fathers) are bulls.

Buffalo include both males and females and thus are not referring to males only. There are bulls and cows and calves and heifers within the different buffalo species. Buffalo tend to be more closely related to their wild ancestor the Auroch because their wild instincts have not been completely bred out, like what has been done in domestic cattle. All buffalo have horns (both males and females), and are often much larger than cattle. Buffalo also come in one standard colour, not many like cattle do, of brown to almost black. Buffalo can also be trained as oxen, but are often much more difficult to train because these "wild genes."

The main differences between goat's milk and cow's milk is that goat's milk is less likely to cause allergic reactions or lactose intolerance. Most goat herders raise them to be free range so there is not a large amount of hormones in the milk which is better for the human body.
