One bull minus two testicles = one steer

Answer 7

a steer is a bull that has been castrated and is fed for meat purpose  as we say in ranching, it takes their mind off of a**s and on to grass

Answer 8

In addition, steers are usually more docile and tear up less stuff like feeders, gates, fences, buildings, etc.  Plus, bull meat is much dryer than that of a steer.  Old bulls going to slaughter are called "bologna bulls" because their dry meat is most often used in making bologna.  Incidently, the typical stinking meat of a slaughtered boar hog (not casterated) is used for pepperoni.  The spices help cover up the boar pee stink.
