MOST UNIQUE BULLS IN THE WORLD!
There are about 250 breeds of cattle throughout the world.
The bulls in each breed standout mostly for their massive bodies and highly aggressive nature. But that’s not all that the bovine world has to offer.
Take, for instance, the unique bulls we’re going to show you in this video.
These are but a few bulls from different parts of the world who stood out from the rest for their unique traits, and have become something of tourist attractions and celebrities in their local towns.
Some of these bulls are colossal beasts turning the scales in the bovine world, while others are miniature bulls producing the smallest hoofprint seen from any bull. Then there is the breed of cattle from Texas whose horns are a sight to behold and one other bull that imitates the Giant Panda for its iconic black-and-white print.
And, have you heard of this bull from India that loves to drink whiskey? Be sure to stay to the end of the video to find out why cow farmers are swarming for semen from this unusual whiskey lover.
1. Fetard – World’s heaviest bull
This is the supersized bull that was named the heaviest bull in the world after turning the scales with its massive 1950 kgs. That’s nearly enough beef to make 45,000 burgers for you meat lovers.
This admirable bull was weighed in 2016 at the International Agricultural Show held in Paris, and everyone was stunned at his massive size.
The owner revealed that Fetard belonged to the Maine-Anjou breed of cattle originating from North-western France. This breed is known, locally, as Rouge des Pres, and although they are typically a heavy breed of cattle weighing about 1500 kgs, Fetard’s weight was unmatched.
And while it is not unusual for this breed of cattle to exceed 1500kg in weight, no farmer who came across this massive specimen could think of a bigger bull.
2. Field Marshall – World’s largest bullock
Meet Field Marshall, a load of literal bull.
If you’re a fan of the colossal pacifist cartoon bull, Ferdinand, then you’ll find this bull to be a charming farm beast.
Field Marshall weighs a whopping 1600 kgs and stands 196 cm tall (6ft 5ins), quite possibly the biggest bull you’ll ever see.
Just look at the size of that big boy and say if he doesn’t deserve his title for World’s largest bullock.
Being a bullock and not a breeding bull, you do understand that Field Marshall was destined to end up at the slaughterhouse. Most other bullocks are ready for slaughter by 35 months. But Field Marshall’s owner wasn’t going to give him up.
Instead, the imposing steer was left to live out his final days on the caravan park at Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset.
While there, his job was simple; gobble up his special cattle cake made of hay and nuts, and pose to take photos with visitors who travel from far and wide to go see him.
3. Dodge Bodacious – World’s most dangerous rodeo bull
Only a handful of rodeo bulls were as feared as Bodacious was in his active years.
This was the 860 kg cross-bred Charbray bull that went down in the history of rodeo sport as the world’s most dangerous bull.
Cowboys found the bull nearly impossible to ride due to his bone-crushing kicks, spins, rotations, and break-over styles.
Bodacious was a bucking star every cowboy wanted to ride; but he didn’t make it easy. In fact, the bull was declared unrideable after sending many cowboys to the hospital.
You’ll remember that this yellow bull was also responsible for some nasty wrecks in rodeo history, including the infamous wreck involving world champion Richard “Tuff” Hedeman at the 1995 PBR Finals.
Very few riders were audacious enough to engage Bodacious especially since this bold and furious bull bucked off 129 of the 135 pro cowboys who rode on him. And even the 6 cowboys who managed to complete their ride confessed that Bodacious had almost tossed them off before the required eight seconds.
Sadly, Bodacious died of kidney failure on May 26th, 2000.
4. Belgian Blue Bulls – The ripped mutants
Coming across this breed of cattle from Belgium for the first time, you’d be forgiven for thinking they’ve been injected with steroids or hormones to beef them up – no pun intended.
These bulls have unusually well-developed muscles that they can’t hide behind their skin – or is it the hide! And it is these bulging muscles that make them look not only oversized, but also shockingly ripped.
Frankly, these bulky beasts look very intimidating despite the fact that their owners claim that they really are just the friendliest cattle.
Something that most people don’t know is that these stunning bulls are born with a disorder affecting the myostatin gene. They have a recessive trait called double muscling which is responsible for their increased muscle mass
