   Hey Sandy... I edited whatever you wrote as a price per bull because what was   
   written made little sense to me.  Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but if   
   you'd care to acknowledge the suggested edit, or correct me, feel free.  I   
   have no idea what modern    
   day bulls go for, but back when my sister's father-in-law raised prize   
   (polled) Herefords, I *think* they were around $10K apiece.   
      
   Funny (but TRUE) anecdote:  when my (eldest) sister married her man, the   
   ceremony was held in the "back yard" of his parents' home (which beyond the   
   relatively short back yard was a beautiful white rail fence, beyond which was   
   a field around the main    
   barn.)   
   So while the preacher was performing the ceremony, one of the prize bulls   
   decided to do what bulls do best with the cows in the field, and all this took   
   place just a short distance behind the groom's side of the center focus of the   
   ceremony.  Whether the    
   father-in-law put those two up to it for "good luck" or not is another   
   question.  Still, hers is the ONLY "first marriage" out of us 5 siblings to   
   have actually held intact with both spouses still alive.  (My middle sister's   
   husband passed some time ago.    
    My older brother is on his 3rd wife, and my youngest sister died during her   
   second marriage.  I've been lawfully divorced twice, yet technically never   
   married / still single!  Funny story... for another time....)   
      
   It is possible that the bulls each represent potential "suitors" in your   
   life.  One (the Brahman) is the "main guy" in whatever relationship(s) you may   
   have had, while the 4 monotone guys were more like "beta males" to the "alpha   
   male."   
      
   Whatever they all took off after, it was likely bovine related in some way.    
   Bulls have been linked to (false or Egyptian) "God" images for millennia.  The   
   cow is thus related to the female goddess iconography.   
      
   Still, I'm more interested in what a "Brahman" bull means to *you,* such as   
   "how did you recognize it as a Brahman bull?"
