  1. The mating of a cow with a bull.
    • 1865, British Farmer's Magazine, number 48, page 8:
      Much difference of opinion exists as to the number of bullings a cow should receive. Here, I think, good judgment should be used. If the bull is cool and quiet, and some time has intervened since he had his last cow, one good leap is better than more []
    • 1874, The Farmer's Magazine, page 273:
      The herdsman left last autumn, and by his leaving the dates of service were lost, and the bullings of only a few cows could be given.
