From looking at photos on the web, if I remember right, the males have a more pronounced hump as compared to the females.

I have never seen those cows so I looked them up. WOW are they really that small? Are they just pets, milkers, or meat. Really very interesting.

Yes they are a mini cattle. My cow is 42 inches behind the hump and the bull is 32 behind the hump. The fance is 54 inches tall.

All of the above LOL.
Some keep them as pets. I milk mine and I have eaten Zebu so..... =)
I LOVE my cow's temperament. Not brain dead but not mean. The little bull is something else! I would be glad if he would get a bit bigger but not too much so. He would be hard to handle ALL BULL.
