what word was used for just one cow

[hc4361]

A castrated bull is a bullock.

[Baldric]

Maybe, but it's not a Cow is it?

[Tilly2]

Is there some importance to the 'was used' as opposed to 'is used' ?

[kvalidir]

Kine then is archaic cow singular :) x

[Tilly2]

Chattel?

[Old_Geezer]

Again, Baldric, it may identify as a cow.

It's not a word I know but all definitions given for kine state very specifically that it's cows in the plural.
