It could be a either a cow mistaken for a steer due to lack of udder development, or a steer that looks like a cow. The question itself is a wee bit confusing because steers are cattle that are made to lack secondary sexual characteristics typical of bulls. A "full-grown" steer (though there's no such thing as steers continue to grow throughout their life, unlike cows and bulls) will look like a mature cow, but a more masculine cow at that. That is where the "steer-like cow" noun may come from because a particular cow may lack femininity enough that she appear more like a castrated bull than an actual cow. Such cows tend to be responsible for calves intended for market than for replacements.
