Gee, I did not realize Mr. Muller has a celebrity status equalling that of Annie Leibovitz, to request such terms in his contract ;)

Yes, horns are generally removed from a very young age to prevent injuries....this breed of cattle called 'Bonsmara' was developed from a breed called 'Afrikaner' that had extremely long horns......

Modelling light on the side largely thanks to the micro contrast slider in LR....It would seem that the larger the sensor the better it works.

Just a verbal contract, but I must try and remember for next time...... :)

Surprisingly they are quite tame and if you stand in their way they turn away....still a bit unnerving when a massive beast like this charges towards you and the farmer calmly says 'just stand there he will avoid you'...




I bet Ava Gardner didn't know that!

Pardon my ignorance, but where are the horns?
In other words, the bulls aren't very horny?

There used to be a three piece jazz band that occasionally played in my local pub called "Dick and his two swingers".  :o

But all joking aside, these really are great shots, bravo..!

If them bulls ain't horny, them bulls ain't worth squat! They should try the back row of the Odeon - oh, sorry, it was demolished some decades ago. ;-(
