bullock
Castrated male bovine
A bullock is a young bull, or more specifically a castrated male bovine raised for beef or as a draft animal.
In British usage, bullock typically refers to a young bull before castration, while in American and Australian usage it usually means a castrated one used for work.
The term appears in rural and agricultural contexts: The farmer trained his bullocks to pull the plow.
Bullock is also a common surname.
