This might be a double definition.

'direct' is the first definition.

'animal on farm' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "Guide, control" , "Handle" , "bovine individual?" , "Guide (eg, a ship)" , "Control movement" .)
