Zuchtstier

breeding bull

noun TSOOKHT-shteer Rare

Also means

stud bull

Usage Note

Zuchtstier is a bull kept for breeding purposes; today most cattle breeding in Germany uses Besamung (artificial insemination), so pure Zuchtstiere are less common. Prized lineages command high prices at agricultural shows.

Examples

"Der preisgekrönte Zuchtstier stand ruhig in seiner Box."

Natural Translation

The prize-winning breeding bull stood calmly in its stall.

Literal Translation

The prize-winning breeding-bull stood calmly in its stall.
