The bull and the ox are used to dexcribe hte gener of a amle bovine animal, much like gelding and stallion are used for animals of the equine family.
The bull has his full gentalia intact and is able to reproduce. An ox, however, has been castrated, and thus, cannot procreate.
(It's belived that castrating a bull calms his temperment and makes him a more amiable creature to carry out "working-livestock" jobs, such as sowing, pulling, and pack hauling.)

For a Bull, one will generally find these meanings:
• An adult male bovine mammal.
• The uncastrated adult male of domestic cattle.
•The male of certain other large animals, such as the alligator, elephant, or moose.
For an Ox, these meanings:
• An adult castrated bull of the genus Bos, especially B. taurus, used chiefly as a draft animal.
• A bovine mammal.
The up-shot of all this, a bull is before neutering, an ox is afterwards.
