The ones that look like they are missing something very important, those are the steers. Typicall if it's CAB, it's a steer, as will be all prime beef and most choice. A cow just won't marble up. It will be stringy as it does not get cornfed. If your buying CAB or choice, rest easy, it's a steer. Trust me I grew up on a small beef operation.

Your neighbors comment is sorta like saying if your going to sleep with a playboy bunny, make sure she's good looking.
