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.

Why does my bull breed the same cow every month?

There are several factors involved in this: 1. He only has one cow to breed 2. He could be an inexperienced bull that prefers to attach himself to one cow and ignores the rest 3. He's a night rider and your cow is the one that needs to be culled. And there are several reasons as to why he keeps breeding the same cow every month (which would be around every 21 days, as cows normally cycle once every 21 days): 1. The bull is infertile, shooting blanks as he tries to breed her every time she cycles. Infertility can be a result of poor conformation, nutritional stress, poor condition or genetics. He should be culled, PERIOD. 2. The cow is cystic, or is infertile due to a uterine infection. 3. Inexperienced young bull that sees it only best to stick with one cow 4. There is only one cow in that little "herd" of yours that the bull has no choice but to breed. If he's continuously trying to breed the cow but she's not settling, it's time to get them both checked out. Get the vet to do a BBSE (Bull Breeding Soundness Exam) on him, and to do a rectal-palpation on the cow. If the bull is coming up with bad results, butcher him. If the cow is, then sell the bull and the cow and start over again. No use wasting your time with wondering why the bull's not being successful and the cow isn't settling properly.
