Why are cattle called steers?
Cattle are not called steers, rather steers are called cattle, when loosely referring to more than one steer or indiscriminate bovine. Steers are cattle because cattle are a collection of bovines that include steers, as well as cows, heifers, bulls and calves. However, cattle can be called steers if these cattle are specifically castrated male bovines, but cattle should not be called steers if they are not specifically and only castrated male bovines.
What are young male cattle called?
Steers, steer calves, yearling bulls, bull calves, bullocks, or calves. Steers and bullocks are castrated male bovines that are castrated after birth or at weaning. Bulls are intact male bovines, and range from being calves, yearlings, or mature animals.

A "daddy cow" is known as the sire. In actuality, cows are mature female bovines, or the "mommy cow," or more properly known as the dam. Bulls are intact/mature male bovines, hence being the "daddy cow" or sire of a calf or next-generation bull, steer, cow or heifer.
Is every cow a girl?
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.
