There is no such thing as a male cow, as a cow is only a female mature bovine that has had at least one or two calves. However, for most inexperienced people who know next to nothing about cattle and cows, a so-called "male cow" may be referred to as a bull, if intact, or a steer, if castrated/neutered.
Cattle, scientifically known as "Bos taurus" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow. It's almost like learning another language where instead of being called a male he's called a Bull and instead of her being called a female she's called a Cow. A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation.
Mature, intact male cattle that are used for breeding cows and heifers are called bulls.
Intact male cattle that are almost, of or past weaning age but are younger than 2 years of age are called bullocks. ('Bullock' may also be a European term for a steer, according to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary.)
Male cattle that are castrated before reaching puberty are called steers and if they are then kept for farm work they can be called "oxen" or an "ox".
Generically any male animal castrated after puberty may also be referred to as a "stag".
