My father, a rather "earthy" Mennonite gentleman, was touring a group of proper lady school teachers around our farm one fine spring day and one of the teachers asked my father about a group of animals in a field apart from the dairy heard. He said they were steers and were kept separate since they would only confuse things at milking time.
And yes---one of those delicate refined ladies just had to ask: "what is a steer"---to wit my father said: "a steer is a bull who has had his mind changed from ass to grass"
