| definition: |
A steer is an animal like a cow, but it is a male. Cows are kept for their milk, but steers are raised for their meat. Steers are male cattle, but they are not used for producing calves. Male cattle used for producing calves are called "bulls."
Steers are often called "beef cattle" because they are raised for beef. |
