Short bull taller cow?

I'm new to cattle so this might be a stupid question but...will a shorter bull be able to breed a taller cow? I'm thinking that the parts wont line up, lol.

Cow is about a foot higher than the bull. We have an ayrshire cow and were thinking of breeding her to a little dexter/devon bull.

If a miniature horse can breed a Clydesdale, then I'm sure the cattle can also find a way.

My Lowline bull had no problem breeding cows much taller than he. Where there's a will, there's a way!

My uncle told my neighbor once that "if he (the bull) has to find an ant hill to stand on to get the job done, he'll do it."

My dexter bull nailed my BIG holstein cow. I cannot wait to see what the little freak looks like!

I don't know for sure yet, but I am hoping my Dexter bull can get his job done with my Holstein heifer.

I heard from the people that got my dexter cows that the bull was breeding the neighbouring Amishs' jersey's by standing on a milking stand.

I've seen my short legged Dexter bull move my black & red angus cows to a low spot in the pasture so he could do his job. Don't worry he will get the job done!
