Bull!


I was born and spent most of my childhood in a very rural area.  We were surrounded by farms.  My family had a farm, sort of a funny farm.  When I was in the 8th grade, I went to school in Florida for 5 months.  One of the core classes was agriculture.  Despite growing up in a rural area, that was the only agriculture class I ever took. We started out by learning the correct names for farm animals by gender.  Hence I know that is a bull above (male of the bovine species.) 

This weeks five:
1: In cattle, is female who has not had a calf is referred to as: 
                    a: a cow
                    b: a heffer 
                    c: a virgin 
2: In honey bees the male is referred to as:
                    a: a drone
                    b: a bull
                    c: a drake 
3: In pigs (swine) a female is a sow, a male is referred to as:
                    a: a bull
                    b: a buck 
                    c: a boar
4: In cattle a Steer is a:
                     a: male 
                     b: female
                     c: castrated male 
5: What animal mates for life?
                      a: queen bee
                      b: rabbits 
                      c: geese 
I will post the correct answers in a day or two.
