Phil "Pheagle" Adler - Holstein Form: Model Sheet
A reference for my bovine form, Phil is a dairy farmer with a red-and-white Holstein cow form. Phil's spot pattern is open to interpretation as long as his facial pattern does not change. He is strictly a male cow, even though he has an udder, and his cowbell is often a catalyst for transformations.

careful you don't get cold. You might sh-udder XD *ba dum tisch*
I know why you're saying that but I must disagree XP
In fact I think more male cows should have udders :P

All Mammals, by definition, have mamalry glands.
There can be, and do exist, bulls with udders...
But when using the term "cow" the issue can get confused.
To clarify;
"Defition of Cow
1
a : the mature female of cattle (genus Bos)
b : the mature female of various usually large animals (as an elephant, whale, or moose)
2
: a domestic bovine animal regardless of sex or age."
The association with the term "Cow" and the subfamily bovinae,
more commonly "bovine",
is more a social construct than a concise association.
If it was just becoming dairy cattle,
would feel less compelled to bring up my inner confiction with the term...
(As in I am expressing my own frustrations with modern terminology,
less your specific use of it.)
I am glad you clairify that you retain you "male" status,
but I guess I'm just a language geek at heart...
>..<;;
P.S.
Grew up raising farm animals and interacting with ranchers,
I appologize for the impromptu rant!

Thinking of that, maybe I should have used the term 'cattle' but I guess I associate a physical, noticeable udder with the female of the species XD
It's a common misinterpretation that all cattle are called 'cows' when 'cows' also means the female in many other mammal species. That being said, I dig your cattle form. ^^
Should have read that more clearly, but my use of 'cow' would still be acceptable under your definitions. Maybe a bit confusing but bulls don't have udders :P
You are absolutely validated in using the term,
I was selfishly using my last comment to vent frusterations on the issue.
As for "bulls cannot have udders",
It is actually a grey area we are trying to define...
There are Hermaphrodite polar bears, chimeric half-breeds and multi-headed reptiles that we have observed and recorded.
Whould a bull or steer typically have one?
Not that we know of.
Could they?
If the genes and environment supported it...
Yes, IMHO.
Heck; male humans are known to lactate in several natural scenerios!
Regardless of existential debate,
My main peeve was how the term "cow" remains ambiguous in modern day.

Basically they are udders under a male penis. I could show you examples but they're rather mature in nature.
lol I'll pass, I think I've seen some before XP
Interesting, male cow with an udder. No cock I assume? I do know there's an artist on here that draws male bipeds with udders instead of balls, so I could picture something like that here. Also is he only feral, or does he have a biped/morph form (wasn't sure if those were mid transformation or morph form)?
Such a lovely male cow! *Pets muzzle and scratches ears. Offers to milk*
I love this guy's design and I love that he's a male character who defies the norm of the gender of his species.
