The adult male cattle is called a bull. Bulls are mature male bovines that are used for breeding purposes to produce offspring. They are generally larger and heavier than cows (female cattle) and have more muscular necks, shoulders, and hindquarters. Bulls are also known for their large, curved horns, which they use for defense and dominance displays. In cattle farming, bulls are usually kept separate from the female herd except during breeding season to prevent fighting and injury. Bulls are an important component of the cattle industry and are highly valued for their genetic traits and ability to produce offspring with desirable characteristics.
