Castrated males typically mature later than intact males. This is because the presence of testosterone, which is abundant in intact males, influences the timing of physical and sexual maturation. In castrated males, the lack of testosterone can delay the development of secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive behaviors, resulting in a later overall maturation process.

The domesticated bovine of the species Bos primigenius.

Steers look more like cows (or heifers) because they have been castrated before they were able to become bull-like in appearance.
