Tickling a bull's nose   Save
Joe Munroe Archive
Description: Beef bulls are calmer than dairy bulls, and as such are often allowed to roam freely with dairy cows, whereas dairy bulls are confined almost entirely for breeding purposes. The docile nature of these bulls is evident in this 1948 photograph taken by Joe Munroe of a small boy tickling the nose of a bull. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.
