ALL bulls should have a hump or crest. A muscular hump on their necks is a sign of adequate masculinity and good fertility. They are what cattle producers call "superior quality sires." A bull with no or a very small hump on its neck is a bull that is inferior, with poor fertility, poor muscling, and lacking in masculinity. These kind of bulls shouldn't be used for breeding females, and should be slaughtered for beef or sold as bologna bulls.

Male moose (bulls) are typically larger and have antlers, while female moose (cows) are generally smaller and do not have antlers. Bulls use their antlers for defending territory and during mating season. Bulls also tend to have a more prominent hump on their shoulders.
Bulls, like all cattle, have solid-colored coats due to their genetic makeup. Spots are a result of specific genes that cause a different distribution of pigment in the skin and hair. Bulls do not have these genes for spot patterns.
Bulls can weigh anywhere from 1,500 to 2,500 pounds, although some can weigh even more depending on the breed.
YES. All bulls should have a hump or crest over their shoulders. This is a sign of masculinity and fertility in a bull. If a bull does not have a muscular crest over his shoulders, especially when he's past sexual maturity and adult maturity, he should be culled because he is deemed inferior as a herd bull simply because he lacks the qualities that a great herd bull should have, such as masculinity, fertility, and great conformation.

Bulls have a hump on their back because it is made of muscle and helps them store energy for when they need it, like during times of scarcity or when they are working hard.

No, until they figure out how to get over the hump known as the Miami Heat, the Bulls won't beat them this year. But hope is not lost yet though.
The big hump on the back of a bull is made of muscle and is used for storing energy and regulating body temperature. It is a distinctive feature of certain breeds of cattle, such as Brahman bulls, and is important for their survival in hot climates.
some do

If the hump is on its back it is most likely a tumor of some sort.
A severely roach-backed cow. Other than that, there is no breed of bovine that has a hump on its back. Bos indicus cattle like Brahmans have humps, but that is over the shoulders, not the back.
