Happy year of the “niu”!
A friend of mine DD had a facebook status update that went “an ox is a castrated bull (look it up)”. I could not help it, i checked. I went thru the whole cattle taxonomy and yes, an Ox IS indeed a castrated bull. See Britannica, the Free Dictionary, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com.
We learn something new every day. :)
Rather prophetic, don’t you think?
The question is whether economist would prefer a castrated bull or a virile bear.
