Young castrated bull or male ox, especially one that is being reared for beef (5)

I believe the answer is:

steer

(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "Guide (eg, a ship)" , "bovine individual?" , "What cowboys try to do to" , "Exercise control" , "Manoeuvre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
