Cattel
In the terminology used to describe the sex and age of cattle, the male is first a bu;; calf and if left intact becomes a bull; if castrated he becomes asteer and in about two or three years grows to an ox. The female is first a heifer calf, growing into a heifer and becoming a cow.
Depending on the breed, mature bulls weigh 1,000–4,000 pounds
(450–1,800 kg) and cows 800–2,400 pounds (360–1,100 kg). Males retained
for beef production are usually castrated to make them more docile on
the range or in feedlots; with males intended for use as working oxen or
bullocks, castration is practiced to make them more tractable at work.
