I'm guessing that the articles are referring to this

Definition swede in Collins English Dictionary & Thesaurus

Winter
Swede, a seasonal root crop that provides lots of fibre and energy and tastes great when mashed and seasoned. Swedes became important as a field crop in the eighteenth century providing fresh vegetable through the autumn and winter months; lifting lasts until March.

And they're probably NOT referring to this:

Of course, he prefers the bite-sized swedes.

bull/bullock = boy
cow = girl.

Bull and cow in this case are cattle.

Sorry, it just makes me crazy when bulls are referred to as cows. There was a commercial several years ago where this moron does not have any milk for his cereal and then goes out with his bowl to what is obviously a bull.. a female housemate looks at another housemate and says something such as “Should we tell him it is a boy cow?”

I used to scream when I heard that. It was so stupid. I wouldn’t tell him anyway. Let him try to milk a BULL.

Didn’t domestic European cattle descend from the Aurochs which was 6’ at the shoulder? I think there is a wild ox in SE Asia which get over 6’ at the shoulder.
