Yes, there is a difference in meaning between 牛 (niú) and 公牛 (gōngniú).
牛 (niú) can refer to a stubborn or arrogant person, a unit of force (newton), or a cow or cattle.
公牛 (gōngniú) specifically refers to a bull, or a male cow. It is composed of the characters 公 (gōng, meaning "male") and 牛 (niú, meaning "cow").
