BULL WEATHERVANE
Black Angus Bull Weathervane

West Coast Weather Vanes

Bull Weathervane, Black Angus Bull
Click here for pricing
This
handmade
copper weather vane depicts a Black Angus Bull. It was
commissioned as a gift for the owner of a large ranch that specializes in
Black Angus cattle. We added an optional arrow fletching with the name
of their outfit written in gold leaf. Because each weathervane is made to order,
we can also add brands to the weathervane if the customer desires it.

Cattle
(often called cows in
vernacular and contemporary usage, or kye as the Scots
plural of cou) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily
Bovines of the family
Bovidae. They are raised
as livestock for meat (called beef and veal), dairy products (milk), leather and
as draught animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). In some countries, such
as India, they are subject to religious ceremonies and respect. It is estimated
that there are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world today.
Cows - Cattle are ruminants,
meaning that they have a digestive system that allows them to utilize otherwise
undigestible foods by repeatedly regurgitating and rechewing them as "cud." The
cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialized microorganisms that
live in the rumen. These features allow cattle to thrive on grasses and other
vegetation. The Texas longhorn is a breed of cattle known
for its characteristic horns, which can extend to six feet in width and have a
slight upward turn at their tips, as well as for their distinctive burnt orange
coloring.
