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

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.

How do you train a horse to be ground tied?

This can take some time. With the horse saddled and bridled up, also put a halter on it, tie a rope to the halter and to a weight, get on and then off and walk a few feet away. The horse will try to walk off but will have to drag the weight. Now if you want to be really careful you can tie a longer rope also that you can hold so the horse wont take off running if spooked by the weight. When you dismount always take the reins down or off over the horses head and drop them so they touch the ground. If the horse really drags the weight you need to find a heavier one. Let the horse wonder awhile and then mount up again. Do this several times and each time walk off a little further for a little longer and soon your horse will get the idea. As soon as your horse does not move the weight, you can lighten it a bit until you are only using the reins for a weight. Now this will take maybe days to teach. Be patient, your horse may have to drag the weight until it gets tired of it. This will work. *
