if you are talking about breeds of cattle raised for beef:
1. Hereford
2. Polled Hereford.
3. Angus (black and red)
4. Brangus (cross between Brahma and Angus)
5. Charolais.
6 Beef master.
7. Limousin.
8. Brahma.
9. any cross breed above.
10. And the Texas Blast From The Past the Longhorn.
Pardon any mis-spelling. I've raised them, can say their breed name, but a little rusty on the spelling
and by the way, a steer is a bull that has been castrated

We raise purebred Angus, but my kids show in the local fair circuit and a few others I don't think were mentioned are Salers, Chianina, Simmental and Shorthorn.
There's a really good website that my kids used for information while creating building exhibits for their beef projects in 4H. It's
http://ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle
That site has things from all over the world, we found it useful to their projects.

In addition to the ones listed I would add
Pie rough (french Simmental)
gelbveih (German Limousin)
Flekveih ( German Simmental)
Maine Anjou (French)
Romangolie (Italian)
Marchigian (Italian)
Devon
Welsh
Santa Gertrudis
Belgian Blue
Belted Bellgians
and a myriad of synthetic breeds like the Hays Converter, etc.
we haven't gotten to the south American Cattle, or the african cattle or the asian cattle either
