Bulls and Cows

Bulls and cows are both types of animals called cattle. Cows are the mommies and bulls are the daddies. Cows grow up to be big, strong animals with big tummies and two horns on the top of their head. Bulls are also big and strong, but they have bigger horns and are usually stronger than cows.

Bulls and cows are very important to people because they provide us with many things we need. We get milk from cows which we can use to make cheese, butter, and other yummy food. We also get meat from cows and bulls which we can cook and eat.

Bulls are also used to breed cows, which means they help make baby cows! When a farmer wants to make baby cows, he will put a bull and a cow together in a field. The bull will try to kiss the cow and the cow might let him. If the cow has a baby, it's called a calf and it can grow up to be a big cow or bull someday.

When you see pictures of bulls, they are usually very angry and snorting. This is because they can get very grumpy if they are bothered or teased by people or other animals. It's important to always be respectful and stay safe around bulls and cows, even if they look friendly.
