No. Uncastrated males are bulls. Castrated males are steers.

Bulls can get aggressive and an aggressive animal that's as big as a bull is dangerous, so most male cattle are castrated.

All boy cows are not bulls. Determining on whether the owner of the bull wants steers in his herd or bulls he will either castrate them and make them steers or not and keep them as bulls. Aggressiveness is not the only reason bulls are castrated. If the owner is interested in better quality meat, then when they castrate the bull, they don't produce as much testosterone. Therefore, instead of becoming a more lean and muscular animal, they become more meaty. It improves the quality of the meat by producing more muscling in the meat. Producers usually receive a better profit when they sell groups of steers than when they try and sell a few bulls.

Technically, no. There is no such thing as "boy cows." Cows are female mature bovines, never either female or male or both female and male like horses, Goats and Sheep can be referred to. Bulls are intact male bovines that are used for breeding.

In a matter of speaking, yes. Cows are mature female bovines that have had a calf and bulls are male bovines used for breeding cows and heifers.
