  Comments:
It does seem rather A+B to me. The 子 doesn't "jump in the middle of 雌牛". 子牛 is a word meaning "calf".
I don't think the x-ref is needed.

  Comments:
Vaccines are a winding road. Sneaky how 子 jumps in the middle of 雌牛.

Not A+B because:
1. weird 子 placement
2. unguessable english gloss (unless you figure out to remove 子 to get to 雌牛 to get to "heifer")

雌子ウシ doesn't make it onto the ngram list but:
1. This is the form I encountered it
2. google returns results, mostly vaccine related (how I encountered it)
3. This form is included in one of the references above.

including as [sK] so a person in a similar situation can locate this.
