Best Answer

YES. All bulls should have a hump or crest over their shoulders. This is a sign of masculinity and fertility in a bull. If a bull does not have a muscular crest over his shoulders, especially when he's past sexual maturity and adult maturity, he should be culled because he is deemed inferior as a herd bull simply because he lacks the qualities that a great herd bull should have, such as masculinity, fertility, and great conformation.

Why do some bulls have a hump?

ALL bulls should have a hump or crest. A muscular hump on their necks is a sign of adequate masculinity and good fertility. They are what cattle producers call "superior quality sires." A bull with no or a very small hump on its neck is a bull that is inferior, with poor fertility, poor muscling, and lacking in masculinity. These kind of bulls shouldn't be used for breeding females, and should be slaughtered for beef or sold as bologna bulls.

Why does the bull have a hump as an adaptation?

That hump over a bull's neck and shoulders is full of nothing but muscle, and lots of it. The crest shows cattle producers a bull's masculinity and his ability to be a good sire, so long as the rest of his tools are functioning properly. The crest is also a way to show other bulls how big and stronger he is in comparison with these other males (as well as the rest of his body).
