What is the feminine gender of steer?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a female steer. A steer will forever and always be known as a castrated male bovine. Intact (uncastrated) male bovines are bulls, and intact (uncastrated) mature female bovines are cows. Heifers are female (intact) bovines that have not had a calf. Spayed heifers are heifers that have been "castrated" or repro tracts removed surgically.

Answer 2

In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for a male or a female, such as male and female.

The gender noun steer is a young male castrated ox or bull; the gender noun for a young female who has not had her first calf is a heifer, an adult female who has had a calf is cow. However, since a steer is really a castrated bull, then the "opposite" gender of a steer would be a spayed heifer.

Answer 3

What you're probably looking for is a cow, although, technically, there is no feminine counterpart to a steer. A steer is a castrated bull, and a bull is a male bovine. A female bovine is a cow, and you can't castrate a female.
