ID a bull for me

[Fred_M]

Today we went to a tourist trap called Exotic Animal Paradise and it was fun. We got a bag of feed and you get to drive like 9 1/2 miles through a zoo in the Ozark Woods and pay a toll to the deer and sheep who stand in the road begging for food. I got to feed a 1500 pound male Carribou from my hands. WOW. Anyway there was this bull with the biggest horns I ever seen. Anyone know what breed he is. He was with some longhorns and it was obvious he's not a longhorn. FRED

Feed the hungy Zebra. What fun and no walking required.

Had a nice chat with this freindly fellow.

No idea what that bull is, but he must have awesome neck muscles to hold up that massive rack!! Great shots - looks like a fun day.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was a black angus.

The Watusi (Dance to moderate tempo)

Stance:
Stand with your feet about 12 inches apart. Keep both knees bent at all times. Pretend you are going to take a golf swing.

Hip Movement:
On the count of one, shift weight to right foot, making right hip move out to the right.
On the count of two, shift weight to left foot, making left hip move out to the left. Move from side to side with hips swinging right to left to a 1-2, 1-2 rhythm.

Arm Movement:
Hold arms out in front of you as if you were holding a golf club. Swing hands to your right, then down in a semicircular motion to your left, back to right, then to left, counting 1-2, 1-2.

Putting Them Together:
Now do the hand and hip movements simultaneously from right to left on a count of 1-2
