Osborne bull Osborne bull The Osborne bull () is a high black silhouetted image of a bull in semi-profile. Nowadays the conservation of the bulls is handled by the family of Félix Tejada. The Osborne sherry company (founded by Thomas Osborne Mann in 1772) erected large images of bulls starting in 1956 to advertise their "Brandy de Jerez". The images were black (with the brand ""Veterano"" in red on it) advertising boards located near major roads throughout Spain. The original image was smaller and slightly different in design. The current larger image was created to comply with a law that prohibited advertising
Cimbrian Bull the current position of the bull is also the site of the old Danish Distillers factory, which was shut down in 1931. The bull is a symbol of the old Germanic tribe that lived in the Himmerland area, the Cimbri. They worshipped the bull as a god of fertility. It is mostly used as a symbol in Himmerland. The Cimbrian bull is used on many things from municipality shields to company logos. The Cimbrian bull has been used in the logo of Himmerland Forsikring gS (Himmerland Insurance) and the coats of arms of Aars Municipality and the former Aalborg Amt.
