What is the difference between bulls and steroid implanted steers?
Bulls are able to grow faster and leaner muscle than steers are with natural steriods involving testosterone. Steers with implants are not as able to grow as quick as bulls are, but with a boost from the steriods, they are able to turn feed into muscle (in a manner of speaking) relatively quickly. Steers are not implanted with testosterone to make them grow, but a man-made estrogen steriod. This, believe it or not, helps them gain marbling as well as muscle. Estrogen-implanted steers are often used for collecting semen on bulls to avoid any mistakes in case the bull being collected inseminates the heifer or cow being used instead.

Cattle are not called steers, rather steers are called cattle, when loosely referring to more than one steer or indiscriminate bovine.

However, cattle can be called steers if these cattle are specifically castrated male bovines, but cattle should not be called steers if they are not specifically and only castrated male bovines.
