You have accurately described the situation. The "target" depends on how you define the word "target". The meaning is obvious, from what you've said. But it could be the primed target, or the actual target. If this is for a class, look at your textbook or ask your instructor. If not, I'd suggest just being clear.
(Note also that cows do drink milk, at least young cows-- that's why (cow) milk exists, not for humans!)
