No: Male cows do not exist. Cows are ONLY female mature bovines that have had at least one or two calves. A steer is not a cow, it is a castrated male bovine (though it is often termed as a part of the colloquial word "cow," which is incorrect, and which can be understandably very confusing for those who are not familiar with terms involving Cows and Cattle). A bull is an intact male bovine used for breeding. So a so-called "male cow" can be either a bull or a steer, depending whether it has testicles or not.
