Baby Cow?

We've been reading a book about baby farm animals. So after finishing the book I asked Alex "what do you call a baby pig" and he replied "a piglet" then I said "what do you call a baby owl" and he said "and owlet" then it got tricky..."what do you call a baby cow alex" to which he replied "a cowlet"! Of course, a cowlet, silly me :)

Obviously, your son has a stronger sense of logic and sensibility than those crazy British folks who stuck us with the current language we have. Because if the plural of goose is geese, surely the plural of moose must be meese....
