Now I may not be scientifically correct but personally I have always referred to large ruminants of all species as "beasts" .........I thought that was a general term ??
Are not ruminants known as beasts of burden as in oxen that would be used to draw carts and ploughs?

yeah maybe if you were living in 17th century olde englande. doubt anyone under the age of 40 would even know what an ox is anyway
Would it be a steer before it became an ox ? I get to collect them all ,cows,beast,ox,steer,bulls,calf's ,heifers,bull calfs ,, its all bullocks if you ask me lol , the strangest
