Yes and no. They are not called "male cows" because technically, male cows don't exist. They, specifically referring to male non-fixed or castrated cattle, are called "bulls."
Cows are specifically female mature cattle. Bulls are male cattle. Vive la difference! Cows and bulls are also specific names of the sexes of various other non-bovine animals such as elephants, rhinos, hippos, moose, elk, caribou, whales, seals, bison and buffalo, among many others.

Cattle, scientifically known as "Bos taurus" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow.

A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation.

No: Male cows do not exist. Cows are ONLY female mature bovines that have had at least one or two calves. A steer is not a cow, it is a castrated male bovine (though it is often termed as a part of the colloquial word "cow," which is incorrect, and which can be understandably very confusing for those who are not familiar with terms involving Cows and Cattle). A bull is an intact male bovine used for breeding. So a so-called "male cow" can be either a bull or a steer, depending whether it has testicles or not.
