bulling
Heifer estrus behavior
Bulling has two main senses.
In finance, bulling is aggressively pushing prices or markets upward—acting as a bull who expects prices to rise: They were bulling the stock all morning.
In agriculture, bulling describes a cow in heat, showing readiness to mate: The heifer's been bulling since yesterday.
The verb can also mean to force through obstacles with bull-like determination: He bulled his way through the crowd.
