Codominance.


What color is a bull?

Bulls come in a variety of colours, just like cows do. Bulls can be black and white, yellow, orange, black, brown, black and speckled, roan, leopard-type colour pattern, any colour with a white face, the list goes on.


Is a bull a type of cow?

No. A bull is the male counterpart of a cow, not a "type" of cow. Bulls aren't cows, technically speaking.


What kind of female cows have horns?

This is an ambiguous question because there are over 900 breeds of cattle in the world, and there are a few breeds where all cows (AND bulls) are horned, but all others have cows that are horned. There really is no "kind" or "type" of cow that has horns.


Are there male cows?

Yes and no. They are not called "male cows" because technically, male cows don't exist. They, specifically referring to male non-fixed or castrated cattle, are called "bulls."Cows are specifically female mature cattle. Bulls are male cattle. Vive la difference! Cows and bulls are also specific names of the sexes of various other non-bovine animals such as elephants, rhinos, hippos, moose, elk, caribou, whales, seals, bison and buffalo, among many others.Please access the related link below for more information.Cattle, scientifically known as "Bos taurus" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow. It's almost like learning another language where instead of being called a male he's called a Bull and instead of her being called a female she's called a Cow. A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation.In fact you can purchase Bulls. If you would like to know where to purchase a bull simply open your search engine and type in "Bulls for Sale" then your region and it should supply you with a good amount of information.No. A cow, by definition is a female. The animals in question are bovine. Male bovine are called bulls or steer. Female bovine are called heifers or cows.No. A cow, by definition is a female. The animals in question are bovine.

Do male cattle get eaten?

Yes. Steers are the most common type of bovine that are raised and slaughtered for beef over bulls and cows/heifers. Bullocks (young bulls) in Europe are also most commonly raised and slaughtered for beef.


How much does a large herd of cattle cost?

This depends on how many cattle are in that large herd, their breed or breeding, what type they are (feeder steers, feeder heifers, dry bred cows, open cows, 3-in-1's, bred heifers, yearling bulls, 2-year old bulls, canner/cutter cows, purebred stock, commercial stock, etc.), and the current market price for your area.


What type of inheritance explains the phenomenon of white cow being bred with a black cow and having black and white spotted babies?

This type of inheritance is impossible and therefore does not exist in cattle, for several reasons:You cannot breed cows to cows. You can only breed cows to bulls and vice versa. A cow is a mature female bovine that has had at least one or two calves. A bull is a male bovine (most often mature) that is used to breed cows in order to produce calves or, in your case, "babies."You cannot get the spotted inheritance from breeding a (supposedly) sold white bull/cow to a solid cow/bull. Cattle genetics suggest a much more likelier occurrence of getting a grey calf from this cross due to the strong dilution gene present in all cattle that are white or light-coloured.Solid to solid gets solid. Solid is dominant over spotted and thus will never occur when breeding solid to solid, ever. You will only get spotted (and only a small chance, at that) offspring if both parents are heterozygous for spotting or either one of them may be spotted themselves, which is obviously not the case in this question.A cow will more often than not give birth to one "baby" or calf, not several.If this type of inheritance did exist, it would be incomplete dominance or codominance.However, note that this inheritance (same type as mentioned above) does exist in Shorthorn cattle, where when you breed a solid red bull (or cow) to a solid white cow (or bull), you will have a high chance of getting a calf that is a roan colour, or to many who do not know what "roan" really means, a "spotted" red and white calf.But really, breeding a white bull to a black cow (or white cow to black bull) will give you a 100% chance of getting a grey calf. All calves, for example, as a result from breeding a Charolais bull to a herd Angus cows, will come out grey, not spotted black and white.
