This includes a bull at Maashorst. The horns are really good. The size is ok, the curvature is basically right but should be more intense in order to be perfect. Actually the horns are better than in most Taurus cattle. The body shape and proportion cannot be judged because the bull is lying.
Another bull is from Keent. I wonder what the breed combination of the bull is. I suspect that it is part Highland x Maremmana, the body shape reveals Highland influence and the long dewlap and the horns point to Maremmana. Since the bull is from Keent, Manolo Uno (Maremmana x Pajuna) might be the father. In this case the bull would be (Maremmana x Highland) x (Maremmana x Pajuna), what I consider plausible.
The third bull is from Keent too. I have no idea what combination this one could be.
Looking at the horns of the upper two bulls, I might reconsider my pessimism concerning the horns of Tauros cattle. The sizes of the horns are useful, and the curvature of the horns of the first bull is really good.
thank you for the post!! any idea what the first bull is? i suspect maronesa x sayaguesa but there might be more in it. plausably tudanca and highland? i would love to see you talk a little more about breeds from the tauros. i know they barerly use podolica and it's for me the least known breed. do you know anything more about this?
