"It's either heifer or steer. Heifer means female and steer means male."

Well - you are close. Actually, yes - you can use "she" and "he." Why not? But as far as heifer and steer- yes, the are gender specific, but not only gender specific. Heifers and cows are females . Males are called steers or bulls. A heifer is a female that has not yet calved, and a cow has had at least one calf. A steer starts his life as a bull calf- when they loose their "manhood" (castration) they are now steers. A bull is fully intact. Age and experience has nothing to do with their labels, it is solely their ability to reproduce.

Typically, though, a cow is known as a "she," neither "he" and/or "she" because cows, as mentioned above, are mature female bovines (hence the "she") that have at least one (or two) calf/calves.
