Both cows and bulls can be horned.
A bull is male and a cow is female. The bull is an animal steeped deep in both the human psyche and human civilization. Popular throughout mythology, especially as the Minotaur of Ancient Crete, the bull is used today as a symbol for a number of sports teams from around the world. The cow is used by humans for its milk, which is also used to make cheese and butter.
Size
As is typical with male mammals, the bull is more muscular than the cow. This is particularly true of a bull around its neck area. This attribute gives a bull power, and, when utilized with its horns, aids in the fighting among other bulls to decide who gains possession of a herd. A bull also weighs more than a female, because of its muscle and the fact that it has thicker bones. A bull and cow are usually of similar height, though some bulls will be slightly taller.
Temperament
Bulls are often depicted as being more aggressive than cows, and though this is generally true, cows have been known to be violent toward both other cows and humans. When a cow displays aggression, it will normally be because it is suffering in some way or is protecting its calves. A bull will show aggression mainly as a sign of trying to dominate, or to keep intruders away from what it sees to be its territory.
Other Differences
A bull will sometimes have a mane on both its head and neck. One other prominent characteristic of the bull's head is a ridge above its eyes. This gives the bull protection when fighting another male. As well as weight, another notable difference between a bull and a cow is that a bull's feet are bigger. Cows are more social animals among their own sex than a bull, though this is not atypical in animals and birds.
Myths
It is not true that bulls will attack someone just because they are wearing red. The bull is colorblind, and will normally charge at a moving target, regardless of what color clothing a person is wearing. Both bulls and cows of the same breed can possess horns. Dairy cattle are often seen without horns, but, as they are milked regularly, any horns they had will have been removed because of safety concerns. There are some breeds of cattle, such as the Aberdeen Angus, that are born hornless.
