Cattle, giraffes, camels, sheep, pigs, deer etc are cloven-hoofed, walking on two toes.
However, they actually have four toes not two, with the outer pair being smaller and not usually touching the ground -- except often when needing extra grip (such as when jumping).
Some mammals have three toes on each foot, such as tapirs. Lots, like cats and most dogs (at birth), have five on the front and four on the back.
If you don't like calling them toes, you can call them digits.
