I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'bullies' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'females' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cows that I've seen before include "Domesticated bovines" , "Farm animals" , "Domesticated bovine animals" , "Milk providers" , "Female bovines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
