      I have always used 'bullock' to refer to a juvenile bull, but my dictionary lists that sense of the word under 'archaic'. It wouldn't be the first time that I've discovered I'm speaking Middle English!

        Very often the juveniles have had the snip so I wonder if that’s the inflection point.
