It's tough being a bull in a breed known almost exclusively for prodigious dairy production, but such is life for Holstein Bulls. Holsteins were raised for beef historically, but other breeds are far more efficient beef cattle these days, making the job of an adult Holstein bull relatively easy. Scientific Name: Bos taurus. Characteristics: Holsteins are one of the most instantly recognizable of all cattle breeds, perhaps because they are, quite literally, the poster animal for American dairy production. This bull is up to the challenge, with the ideal color pattern of a Holstein. Size and Color: This Holstein figure features a nice balance of black and white, along with realistic coloration about the face. It's a sturdy, 5" long figure, similar in size to a soda can lying on its side. The Holstein Bull is part of the Safari Farm collection. All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free.
