bovines
Yaks and kin
Bovines are cattle—cows, bulls, oxen, and related animals in the biological subfamily Bovinae.
The term appears in agricultural, scientific, and veterinary contexts: bovine diseases, bovine genetics.
As an adjective, bovine describes cattle-like qualities, often unflattering when applied to people—slow, dull, placid: He stared at her with bovine indifference.
