Re: Blue Wildebeest - Cow or Bull?
Thanks TStone, good point to note. The other factor I was told about it, how the horns sit - cows sit further up on top of the head above the ears, whilst bulls' horns drop down.

Re: Blue Wildebeest - Cow or Bull?
There are people that will tell you that cows have red foreheads while those of the bulls are black. In the areas where I have hunted them this is not true. Young animals of both sexes will have reddish foreheads, old animals will have black foreheads.
All bulls.
Cow with calf.

This is the case in most instances but in the bushveld areas I have seen / hunted mature cows with brownish foreheads
