Yes! Cows are mature female bovines that have given birth to at least two calves. Heifers are females who have not given birth at all during their lifetime, and first-calf heifers are heifers that have given birth to their first calf. Steers and bulls, on the other hand, are MALES. Steers are male bovines that have been castrated or neutered (some people like to refer to them as "castrated bulls"), and bulls are intact male bovines that have not been castrated and are used (or going to be used) for breeding purposes.
They are generally known as bulls, which are intact males used to breed cows and heifers. Steers (being castrated males) don't exactly mature, as they may keep growing even after the age of maturity for both bulls and cows, though more slower than when they were young.
