YES. All bulls should have a hump or crest over their shoulders. This is a sign of masculinity and fertility in a bull.

Why does a herd of cattle follow one cow in a cattle drive?
Because a herd cannot coexist without a leader of some sort. There is a pecking order or order of dominance in a herd just like in a pack of wolves or a herd of wild horses. Usually the oldest and/or the strongest and most dominant cow (often not the bull!) in the herd is the leader, and the one that all the other animals, including the bull, will follow in a cattle drive or on a trip to the watering whole or to the best grazing areas.
