Which term describes a young cattle?

The term that describes a young cattle is "calf." A calf refers specifically to a young bovine that is usually less than one year old. This term is commonly used in the livestock industry to categorize young cattle before they reach maturity and are classified as heifers or steers.

Heifers are female cattle that have not yet had a calf and are generally older than calves but younger than mature cows. Steers are castrated male cattle that are typically raised for beef production, and they also denote a stage beyond being a calf. A filly, on the other hand, is a young female horse, which does not pertain to cattle at all. Thus, the correct answer accurately identifies the specific term for young cattle in agricultural terminology.
