Only female cows produce milk.

Where do you get "half" from that? Female cows are economically productive and males are not. The ratio is not even close to half-and-half. Go look at a herd of cows sometime.
All cows are female.
In common parlance (rather than technical terminology), "cows" means "cattle".
Almost all cattle are female. aflag doesn't get less accurate if you interpret "cows" as the species term that it is.
