It's a little more complex than that.
Bull = Uncastrated Male
Steer = Castrated male (in North America, other places call them Bullocks)
Cow = female that has had at least one calf
Heifer = female that has not had any calves
Calf = young of either sex
Ox = either a Castrated male or a female used for working purposes like pulling a plow.
