beast 1,884 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 beasts are wild ferocious creatures, lions and tigers and bears, or monsters. a cow ain't no monster. Cattle are called beasts everywhere around the world, only not where you residence, so who's making the exception ? Just the two cents of another "furriner " Cheers, "mummy, where do we get milk from?" "beasts, darling" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,662 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 cattle are cattle, cows are cows, bulls are bulls. beasts are wild ferocious creatures, lions and tigers and bears, or monsters. a cow ain't no monster. most kids learn their first few animals age about two, dog, cat, horse cow. do you foreign-speakers teach the kids to say dog, cat, beast? Now I may not be scientifically correct but personally I have always referred to large ruminants of all species as "beasts" .........I thought that was a general term ?? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
