A horse autopsy provides a sample of cattle

Describe the bug

A horse doesn't have horns, right? Right??? Not all jokes are understandable in translation. Does a horse belong to cattle?

Nothing weird here. Cattle is our generic herbivore mammal mutation. If anything it's weird llamas, goats, and sheep don't give cattle samples.

Wikipedia:

Cattle (Bos taurus) are large, domesticated, bovid ungulates widely kept as livestock. They are prominent modern members of the subfamily Bovinae and the most widespread species of the genus Bos. Mature female cattle are called cows and mature male cattle are bulls. Young female cattle are called heifers, young male cattle are oxen or bullocks, and castrated male cattle are known as steers.

How does this matter? We're not going by taxonomy. Our "Cattle" is a generic ungulate.

Centipedes give insect samples. Eels give slime samples. We don't care about taxonomy for this purpose.

Eels should definitely be giving fish and not slime. An eel is a fish and a slime is an alien - IMO nothing from earth prime should be giving slime samples.

Cattle is all ungulates though, so horses dropping cattle samples seems fine to me.

I solved that months ago. They give both.
