I don't know anything about this cast iron bull, other than grandpa loved it. I don't know if its old or new. My grandpa was a farmer, and grew all kinds of food crops in the old days, then moved on to raising prize winning Black Angus cattle. He had many prize bulls and cows. At one point he named each one after each of his grandkids. We had a big laugh over the fact that he named a bull after my sister! LOL. Anyway, if anyone out there knows anything about these cast iron type animals... write me a note. I'd love to know about this one, since I inherited it. (:





My grandpa and a prized animal!
He was a handsome guy
Grandpa ... not the bull!

  2. Judging by the screw just behind his front extended leg he appears to be in two pieces? Perhaps he is some kind of mold. Either way he'd make a great display piece in a place of honor befitting his ancestry.
    As for the bottom photo he's a perfect image of what a Grandpa should look like... a man of wisdom, devotion and love oh yes and knowledge... and that's no bull.
    Have a great weekend.
