๐Ÿ‚ Bulls vs. boars โ€” a species check

Live NGSI-LD Animal records for the farm's three largest male cattle and three largest male pigs โ€” weight, resting heart rate, species, and location, queried from the context broker โ€” 2026-09-06

Cattle bulls (dairy cattle) Pig boars

Weight by animal

Beany and Ferdinand are full-grown bulls; Bumble is a bull calf still with the herd. Colossus, Giant, and Mammoth โ€” despite the imposing names โ€” are boars, roughly a third to two-thirds the mass of an adult bull.

Resting heart rate splits cleanly by species too โ€” 50โ€“55 bpm for the cattle against 61โ€“63 bpm for the boars โ€” matching typical adult-cattle (48โ€“84 bpm) vs. adult-pig (60โ€“100 bpm) resting ranges. Two independent signals, both saying the same thing: Giant, Mammoth, and Colossus are pigs, not cattle โ€” the "big three" nickname is a farm-floor joke, not a species record.
