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.


Originally, there were two categories, the West Highlands or Kailu, and the Highlander, where the former were small in size and had a higher percentage of black and brindled cattle. The unique and memorable feature of this animal is that it has the grandest head with a long fringe that appears to cover the eyes and horns that are long and dark towards the tip.

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.
