I had the privilege of encountering an extraordinary Simmental bull, a massive creature weighing in at a staggering 1 ton and 300 kilos. He stood alone, a sentinel guarding his herd. Despite his imposing size, I was struck by his remarkable gentleness and kindness. It was a powerful reminder that strength and compassion could coexist in the animal kingdom, leaving me in awe of this magnificent bull and the intricate dynamics within his herd.
