A bullock is a bull and every country that raises them has bullocks. In the wild they are found in asia and the term could apply to cape buffalo bulls as well which live in Africa.
I have never heard anyone refer to bison bulls as bullocks however. Partly at least because bullock is used more in England than in the US, especially in the western US.
Though there is a population of European forest in the black forest of eastern Europe (Germany I believe).
Yes a bullock can be a castrated bull or steer. But a bullock is also a young bull. So as I was saying I have seldom heard the term used is the western US though I have heard it in England and in the new England states.

Bullocks are castrated bulls, and so are found in every populated continent. I believe domestic cattle originated in Asia minor (the middle east), and spread from there throughought the world, as domestication and farming spread.
However, you might be confusing bullocks with Water Buffalo, which look similar to, but are a different species from domesticated cattle. They are found in south-east Asia; from where they have spread to the surrounding areas, including Northern Australia.

Every where - you need to google this.
I'm in England and the word is in common usage, esp rural areas. It's even a surname here. Derived from the cattle I presume.

That term is used by the English, Scots and Irish in reference to the buttocks.
