Female water buffalo is called ´female water buffalo´ and male water buffalo is called ´male water buffalo´ 
Reyhan ´buffalo´ is the name of the animal - not the sex!

The water buffalo has many names in Turkish: manda, camız, camış, kömüş.
Cattle names could compete with rocket science in terms of sophistication:
Sığır is the general name.
İnek is a female sığır.
Buzağı is the yearling of inek.
Düve is an inek that has reached puberty
Boğa is a male sığır.
Buzağı is the same.
Dana is a boğa that has reached puberty
Öküz is a castrated boğa.
Furthermore, we have manda which means weaned water buffalo.
There are other words such as camış, mal etc which are used in various locations in Anatolia.

Afyon is one of my favourite places in Turkey and gets my award for ´friendliest people in Turkey´
The aforementioned kaymak is often served with a bready cake soaked in honey and is gorgeous.
It has its own facebook page!

Dictionary of this site give this definition:
buffalo
A species of the genus Bos or Bubalus (B. bubalus), originally from India, but now found in most of the warmer countries of the eastern continent. It is larger and less docile than the common ox, and is fond of marshy places and rivers.
and
ox
The male of bovine quadrupeds, especially the domestic animal when castrated and grown to its full size, or nearly so. The word is also applied, as a general name, to any species of bovine animals, male and female.
So if the buffalo is larger and less docile than the common ox and the ox is male doesnt it mean that buffalo is male ?

no, that means cow has a husband bull and a lover ox, and buffalo was only compared by SIZE with this ox, not by anatomy, and that won´t change anything, buffalo still is male buffalo and female buffalo, and you really CAN eat kaymak in peace coz it IS made from buffalo´s milk...
