Um, no a full-grown male steer cannot be called a bull, as steers, by definition lack the equipment that makes bulls, well, bulls.

So my instinct was right about you saying the answer is one, but I don't agree. No matter what webster.com says. I still stand by my statement that male calves can also be [informally] called bulls, as that's how my dad, who has been raising beef cattle for 50+ years calls them.

Neener.

And I realize it's ridiculous I'm so annoyed by this, but I am.
