Mature bulls have antlers that often span around--and occasionally over--6 feet, however most bulls will have spans of around 4 to 5 feet. Younger bulls have smaller spans of antlers. They can weigh around 40 to 50 lbs, which means every bull needs to have a powerful neck to not only hold the weight of those antlers, but fight with them too.
