How do you tell if a cow has just been bred by a bull?

Answer 1

A bull looks more masculine than cows do, often with a large muscular hump on the neck, and more muscular features around the shoulders and rump. Bulls have a broader forehead than cows do, which is sometimes curly, often signifying fertility. Where cows have udders, bulls have testicles that look much like human male testicles but are much larger. They also have a sheath where the penis is "stored," which is often covered in longer hair than the rest of their body. The sheath is located in the bottom-middle of their belly, and is where they also urinate from. This area is also called the navel.

Cows, on the other hand, are more feminine in their features in comparison to bulls. They are often smaller, with a less broader forehead, no hump on their shoulders (except for the Brahman breeds), and are less muscular in appearance. They do not urinate from the navel area like bulls do, but from their rear ends. Below their anus they have a bit of a pronounced vulva, which is where they urinate, concieve, and give birth to a newborn calf from. They also have udders, a bag of skin with four teats on each quarter, from where milk is developed and excreted by the newborn calf or by a milk machine.

Answer 2

Her tail will be held out behind her and her back will be slightly arched. Cows that have been bred within 24 hours will have a bit of a kink in their tail. Also, waiting at least 21 days after breeding season or after the suspected time she has been settled to see if that cow goes back into heat is another good way of telling of a cow has been bred or not. Preg-checking 45 to 90 days later will confirm if she has settled or not.

Answer 3

The bull buffalo will have testicles and a penis while the cow buffalo will have a vulva and (if she has calved previously) a well-developed udder.

Answer 4

An ox is a castrated bull (male) that has been trained as a draft animal.
