A steer is castrated (or testicles have been surgically removed), a bull is not. Bulls look more masculine and tend to be more muscular than steers are, and are used for breeding heifers and cows to produce offspring, being calves. Steers tend to look like heifers or cows, without the udder, and are primarily used for meat production.

Do bull calves have to be castrated if they are to be slaughtered?
No. Castrating bull calves is just a means to make them easier to handle and less dangerous and destructive to deal with, plus they bring more money if they are sold via cattle auctions. Bull calves can be slaughtered regardless of whether they've been castrated or not. Meat from a bull will be a bit leaner than a steer's, but other than that there's no real significant difference in meat quality between slaughtering a 18 month old bull or an 18-month old steer.
