BULL WEATHERVANE
Limousin Bull Weathervane

This Limousin Bull weathervane featured on the left is our original all copper version of this design. The Limousin Bull weathervane featured in the photo to the right also includes the ranch’s name in optional gold leaf lettering on the arrow fletching. This particular customer requested a more heavily muscled, mature bull than our original two year old Limousin. Because our weathervanes are made to order, each vane can be personalized according our customer’s wishes. Depending on the extent of the modifications, there may be some additional cost involved in redoing the original design for customer approval prior to starting the weathervane. Both these Limousin Bull weathervanes are the same price and can be ordered as Version 1 or Version 2.
The Limousin breed originated in the Aquitaine region of France and has been exported to many countries throughout the world. This ancient breed may have even been the models for the 20,000-year bulls depicted in the famous Lascaux Cave paintings. They were bred both as work animals and as an important food source. Later the focus was on their value as a food source and they were increasingly bred for deep chests, a strong tip-line and strongly muscled hindquarters. You can see those characteristics reflected in this weathervane design.
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.
