The distinction in the case of excrement is just a matter of idiomatic

never heard "steershit" or "heifershit".

The closest I’ve ever heard is “off in a cloud of heifer dust” (which, in a corral, is dirt mixed with desiccated and pulverized cow manure). It’s also the name of a book: https://burnstownpublishing.com/product/off-in-a-cloud-of-heifer-dust-%E2%94%80-some-ottawa-valley-yarns/ and a spice-mix.
