Inspired by the conversation in R.Sale's You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., I created a template for assessing images of bulls. This might allow us to trace certain features and perhaps learn more about their origin and spread. The current checklist is as follows:
  • elongated horns
  • lyre-shaped horns
  • round eyes
  • both eyes visible
  • round ears
  • few hairs on forehead
  • facing left
  • long, upright neck
  • far front leg raised
  • separated dewclaws
  • reddish color
  • weird back legs
  • tail behind legs
  • biforked tail
  • genital confusion
  • smooth outline 
  • stands on terrain
  • accented terrain

These are currently weighed at 1 point each, but we may want to add more weight to certain features.
I propose to double the impact of:
  • lyre shaped horns
  • long, upright neck
  • stands on terrain 

because I feel like these are big things that are most likely to help us corner the type. But let me know if I should change anything about that.

Any bull you find that appears to check some boxes is always welcome. This can obviously be a long, ongoing project.
