1. a woman acting in a specified capacity —used in combination ; OR
2: a female partner in a marriage

Merriem-Webster defines a cow a either:

1. the mature female of cattle (genus Bos); OR

The wife and the cow are the most important females of both their worlds. The wife is the wife,and therefore a partner, and the cow is the wife's central and most important property.
