A steer is not born as a steer because a steer is a castrated bull-calf. In other words, a bull calf is born then castrated (or "steered") a few days or months after birth, or right at weaning, depending on the producer.

A bull-calf's birth weight depends on its breeding. He can be as small as 30 lbs (miniature cattle) or as large as over 100 lbs (larger breeds like Chianina, Simmental, or Charolais).
