Castrated male cattle are called 'bullocks', and in sheep the term is 'wether'.

With horses, a castrated male is a gelding.

I know all of the individual ones for species, but is there a word that is common for all of them; In small animals they are all called neutered or castrated.

Castrated is the general term.

Only male animals can be castrated as it means removal of the testicles.
