Best Answer

Males used for breeding are called bulls. Mature females are called cows (whereas immature females are known as heifers) and their young are called calves (singular is "calf").

Males that are castrated are called steers.
Male = Bull

Female = Cow

Young = Calf

A young female before she has calved the second time is called a heifer (pronounced heffer) after the second calf she is matured and therefore referred to as "a Cow"

Uncastrated males are called bulls while castrated males are called steers. Females that have had one or more calves are called cows while females under three years of age that have not had any calves are called heifers.
