Can anyone help me figure out this riddle?

[AGDee]

I don't know how many bulls there are but there is sure a heck of a lot of bull sh*t

[BabyPiNK_FL]

webster.com defines a bull as: an adult uncastrated male domestic bovine
so there is ONE and only one bull.

There is no such thing as a baby bull, it's a calf (or in my preference veal ). The girl is obviously excluded because she has a vagina and doesn't qualify!

BankPink (dictionary usage counts as cheating ) got it right.....in otras palabras....only a full grown Male steer can be called a bull.

Hehehe....I have been telling that riddle for 15 years and still it takes 'forever' for people to get that right.......LOL

Um, no a full-grown male steer cannot be called a bull, as steers, by definition lack the equipment that makes bulls, well, bulls.

So my instinct was right about you saying the answer is one, but I don't agree. No matter what webster.com says. I still stand by my statement that male calves can also be [informally] called bulls, as that's how my dad, who has been raising beef cattle for 50+ years calls them.

Neener.

And I realize it's ridiculous I'm so annoyed by this, but I am.

You know what the heck I meant....don't be annoyed....just go for the obvious answer...we are not going by what your dad says...I don't know your dad.

I'm more annoyed at myself for getting so involved.

And I asked the hub, who also grew up on a farm, and he said one. So obviously I'm dumb.

Hey...you said it I didn't....LOL

Any adult (bovine, elk, moose, elephant...etc) is a bull...when you are considering young....a bull more than likely is used to differentiate between the sexes.

I didn't grow up on a farm


Don't be annoyed....like I said 15 years and I watched all kinds of people get frustrated with that riddle....hehehe.

BTW...this came up from a dispute I had with my biology teacher over the same issue....LOL.

He tried to tell me the same thing until we looked it up.
