Can someone please settle an argument and tell me if bulls "moo" as well as cows as I have been told that bulls only roar or snort?

Yes, only cows moo, bulls snort - when cross. It would be a little worrying to hear a bull 'moo' - in depth counselling would be required. Jul 30 03, 6:18 AM

Apparently both sexes of calves moo either out of alarm or as a request for food. If this is the case and bulls only snort, when do their voices break? Jul 30 03, 8:15 AM

Bulls sometimes inject as well as snort. Jul 30 03, 8:22 AM

Bulls also "moo" I've seen and heard them. Anyway, "To err is human, to moo BOVINE!" Jul 31 03, 5:04 AM

If you heard a mooing bull DB, then you were not looking at a bull - there is a considerable difference you know. Bulls roar, snort or blare - the latter is a similar sound a cow makes when separated from her calf. Jul 31 03, 7:03 AM

Perhaps I should rephrase my answer. Bulls can make exactly the same noise as a cow. If it happens to be given a different name, such as blaring, then so be it but it is the same sound as as a "moo". And yes it WAS a bull. He was actually quite excited at the time. Jul 31 03, 7:42 AM
