Hi,
The term 'ox' is usually used only for the large animal used to pull carts, ploughs and other heavy loads. I believe such animals are still commonly used in various Asian countries.
An 'ox' may refer to a male or to a female.
The plural is 'oxen'.
Here's an ox. I believe an ox is larger than a bull usually, but it's hard to see size in a picture.

According to the dictionary, the difference is that an ox is castrated, and a bull is not. A steer is a young castrated male. When he becomes an adult, he is then called an ox.

Him,
My dictionary has these meanings.
1. Any bovine animal, especially a large, usually horned, domesticated ruminant used for draft, for suplying milk, and for eating as meat.
2. A castrated male of a domesticated species of cattle
3. A foolish, clumsy person
Perhaps farmers in N. America speak of 'an ox' with meaning #2, but personally I've never heard

Well, it would explain a difference between an ox and a bull.
A bull might not make a good draft animal for plowing or pulling carts - if he is distracted by cows, it might upset the cart..
In #1, ox is used for both male and female, but I'd wager that the males used as draft animals are fixed

A male cow is a Bull. An Ox also is a Bull. To clear things up this will help you. An OX is a male cow that has reached full sexual maturity and has been castrated. A steer is a male cow that has not reached sexual maturity that has been castrated. So the only diffrence between a male cow, a bull, a ox, and a steer, is the age and rather or not he has testicles.

ox and bull both are male of cow.the difference only is that oxen are castrated and bull are not castrated. it means oxen can not participate in mating whether bulls can do it.oxen are used in pulling the heavy load and they are castrated purposel

No. An ox is a castrated male of the bovine variety. Never a female.
And the reason why an ox is mostly used for draught is because being a male, it is stronger than a cow and it doesn't have the testosterone issue that 1) limits physical growth and 2) increases beligerance.
