[QUOTE="akeady, post: 7391668, member: 83175"]Funnily, I had this described as a bull too, but in RSC it's described as a heifer and anatomically, that seems to be correct, so I changed my description :D For what it's worth, it's RSC 28 on page 133 of my copy of RSC - third edition, reprinted in 2006 (I believe there were no changes since the 1978 original printing of the third edition).
