A steer is castrated (or testicles have been surgically removed), a bull is not. Bulls look more masculine and tend to be more muscular than steers are, and are used for breeding heifers and cows to produce offspring, being calves. Steers tend to look like heifers or cows, without the udder, and are primarily used for meat production.
