This Bull have 20 inches of hair! 6 most unique and spectacular bulls in the world.
1- Highland Bull
Another Scottish breed
of cow, which is also known as the hairy cow is probably one of the most
attractive bulls. As the name suggests, the cattle are found in the Highlands
and West Coastal Islands of Scotland, areas severe in climate and lashed by the
North Atlantic gales.
Highlands have a
double coating of hair, undercoat and overcoat, which reaches almost 13 inches
and are very well oiled to shed rain and snow. The heavy haircoat also helps
them to withstand extreme weather exposure, during the warm climate, the beast
sheds its haircoat and grows a new one in the cold season.
The cattle are remarkable for their longevity and many continue to breed to ages, even more than 18 years, having born 15 calves. The bulls can weigh up to a whopping 800 kilograms, and the cows up to 500 kilograms, and their milk generally has a very high butterfat content while their beef has low cholesterol comparatively.
2- Belgian Bull
This insomely ripped
and muscular bull is living for hundreds of years in Belgium and can weigh up
to a whopping 1,250 kilograms.
The reason that the
Belgian Blue Bulls look so bulky is because of a naturally occurring mutation
called double muscling, which occurs when the animals lack a certain protein
that regulates muscle growth.
Since they are heavy,
it is obvious they are raised for their meat, and the meat industry selectively
breeds animals who exhibit this mutation to produce bigger animals and,
therefore, more meat.
However, because of
their enormous size, the animal has to endure a number of health issues,
especially pregnant ones. Pregnant Belgian Blues often have severe birth
complications.
90% of moms need
cesarean sections, and many moms and calves pass away during birth. Caves who
survive birth sometimes still die within 48 hours, because their hearts
suddenly stop.
The worst thing is that the meat and dairy industry induces high doses of antidote to keep them alive in crept and miserable conditions.
3- Bazadez Bull
Bazadez cattle
originate from Bazaz, France, a little town in the south of Bordeaux and are
mostly used for agriculture and forestry work.
The breed of Bazadez
Bull is very much a superior beef breed renowned for its grass-finishing
ability, mobility, extended muscle and ease of calving.
They have the
qualities necessary to produce one calf per year and, because of a good broad
pelvis and a low birth weight for the calves, calving becomes easy.
Since the hefty beast
has gone through harsh and difficult conditions throughout its long history, it
has become extraordinarily versatile that can adapt to almost every production
system.
Bazadez makes
excellent mothers and their calves weigh between 35 to 42 kg, and the muscle
develops after two weeks.
The butchers value the
high meat production that the Bazadez Bull produces because of the fine quality
of the carcass, leading to high levels of meat production.
Used in crossbreeding,
the Bazadez possesses great qualities to allow the producer to achieve optimum
results.
The strong genetic
traits of the Bazadez bring about an improved conformation, exceptional length,
increased weight gain and higher carcass evaluations.
4- Brahman Bull
Also known as Brahma
Bull, is said to be originated from boss Indicus cattle from India, the sacred
cattle of India.
They are characterized
by a hump above the shoulders and a pronounced doulap, while their coat is
short and can be light to dark grey, with various shades of red or black.
Since the Brahman
Bulls are raised in the extreme where they're in tropical India, they have an
abundance of loose to make them capable of withstanding warm climates.
Another feature of
this breed is the sweat glands to make them sweat freely and the sebaceous
glands that secrete oil which repels insects with its distinctive odor.
One of the most
popular breeds in the US once is the best choice for crossbreeding due to its
efficiency, hybrid vigor and environmental adaptability.
F1 Brahman females are
called queens of the cow country because of increased milk production, higher
fertility and wean faster growing calves with fewer inputs.
Plus, she will have a
longer productive life, raising more calves over her lifetime than other
breeds. The Brahma Bulls are known for their intelligent and shy nature and
generally weigh from 1600 to 2200 pounds while the calves 60 to 65 pounds.
5- Aberdeen Angus Bull
Angus beef has become
one of the most important parts of the beef supply chain at the McDonald
franchise.
The Aberdeen breed is
dominantly black in color and predominantly belong to northeast Scotland and
the cattle were locally known as Doddies and Humlays.
The animal is extremely
well known for its carcass quality and is widely used for crossbreeding to
improve carcass quality and milking ability.
The characteristic
features of the breed are black color, pulled head, compact and low set body,
fine quality of flesh and high dressing percentage.
The black Angus was
introduced to the US in 1873, after which it gained a lot of popularity
throughout the country.
Lately, a red colored
Angus Bull has attracted numerous eyes and became famous in the mid 20th
century, particularly for purposes of outcrossing and crossbreeding.
The Brangus, developed
from Brahman and Angus stocks, is notable for its resistance to heat.
In 2014, the Britain
Cattle Movement service named the breed as the UK's finest, the animal is a
truly international breed, they are the dominant breed in the USA, Canada,
Argentina, New Zealand and Australia.
6- Canina Bull
The largest and one of
the oldest cattle breeds in the world is an Italian breed of large white
cattle.
The name comes from
the Chiana Valley in the province of Tuscany in central Italy, which is where
Chianti wine is made.
Before raising them
for beef, the Canina bulls were used as draft animals, maybe that is why they
can live up to 20 years.
The breed since World
War II had been traded to different Asian countries and other continents such
as the US, Australia, China and Canada.
The most noticeable
characteristic of the breed is the extensive and well-defined muscling,
however, they have small udders leading to low milk production.
The average Canina cow
weighs 800 to 1000 kg, while the bull weighs 1150 to 1280 kg.
