public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, EntityLivingBase target, EnumHand hand)
    {
		if (target.isEntityEqual(EntityCow))
		{
			System.out.println("This is a cow!!");
		}
		
        return false;
    }

That's because EntityCow is not a variable, it's a class. If you don't understand what this means, you need to learn more Java fundamentals before you will be able to make a mod.

I understand that its not a Varible, I guess the point of the question is in 1.11.2 How can I specify it to test for a specific entity, Considering I cant you the EntityCow Class

You use an instanceof check.
