A calf. If it's a male, it's a bull calf. If it's female, it's a heifer calf. Bull calves become steer calves if they are castrated.
A bull calf becomes a bull when he is weaned and reaches one year of age. Bulls are raised and used for breeding cows and heifers.
Steers are steers when they are fed and raised for beef. A steer can become an ox if he is trained at a young age to pull carts and wagons.
A heifer calf is no longer a heifer calf after she is weaned and becomes one year of age. She is a bred heifer when she is impregnated by a bull at 15 to 18 months of age, then a first-calf heifer when she calves. She becomes a cow after having her second calf.

What is the offspring of a cow and a bull called?
The offspring of a cow and a bull is called a calf. If the calf is female, she is referred to as a heifer calf. If the calf is male, then he, unless castrated after birth, is called a bull calf. Castrated calves are called steer calves.
How does a bull give birth?
A bull doesn't give birth because a bull is a male. The female, a cow, gives birth to the bull's offspring, and they are called calves.
If a cow with horns is bred to a polled bull will her offspring be polled?
Yes, the offspring has a 50% chance of being polled. The polled gene is dominant over the horned gene, so if the bull does not carry the horned gene, the offspring will not have horns.
What is the offspring of a cow called?
The offspring of a cow is referred to as a calf. A heifer calf is a female calf, a bull calf is an intact male calf, and a steer calf is a castrated male calf (castrated after birth).

In cattle coat color is codominant. Red coat and white coat. If a bull is roan what color(s) must the cow be in order to get 50 solid red offspring?
If a bull is roan, which is the result of having both red and white coat color genes, the cow must be solid red. This is because to produce solid red offspring, the offspring must inherit the red gene from both parents. In this case, the roan bull can pass on either a red or a white gene, but to guarantee 50% solid red offspring, the cow must only provide the red gene.
Can a black cow and a black bull have a white calf?
Yes, it is possible for a black cow and a black bull to have a white calf if both parents carry a recessive gene for white coloration. This would allow for the expression of the white color in their offspring.
What is a bull not a cow?
The question is a bit ambiguous and rhetorical: a bull is most definitely not a cow. A bull is an intact male bovine, often mature, that is used to breed cows and heifers for the propose of producing offspring, being calves.
