What is the difference between a steer and a regular cow?!
I was in the grocery store deli buying roast beef and I asked the person behind the deli which brand was best!. He asked me to describe "best "and I asked which on "tasted" best!. He pointed to 2 or 3 brands and said one of them was "steer!." He could not really explain what the difference was!. He did let me taste the steer roast beef and it appeared denser in taste and texture!. Any answers on this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
A cow is a female 'bovine' A steer is a neutered male!.
There is a theory that heifer (young female) meat is tenderest because female beef tends to have less surface fat, the fat being distributed through the meat!. The densest beef is bull meat but is tough and can smell!. A steer, being an neutered bull still has the density to the meat but is not producing tostesterone to give the meat that bullish quality!.
Bull meat and aged cow meat tend to be used more for ground-beef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

a steer is a castrated male cow!. That is all a steer is!. A cow is a cow and it does not point to any classification within the species!. So a steer is a cow just a type!. An non-castrated male cow is called a bull!. That is all I know!. I do not know what the name is for a female cow although her baby is known as a calf!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
A cow is a female which has most likely had calves!. A steer is a male that started out life as a bull until he got his nuts cut then he is a steer!. and most steers are put in a feed lot and fed grain instead of grass which makes the meat better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
