Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Nasal septum in bull calves is punctured for pulling a rope or nose ring at the age of 12 months.

Bull rings are usually 8 to 13 centimetres (3 to 5 inches) in diameter, depending on the size of the bull. The ring is normally placed on the bull between 9 and 12 months of age. It is usually done by a veterinarian, who pierces the septum with a scalpel or punch.
Self-piercing rings (with sharp ends designed to be pressed through the septum and then pulled together with a screw).
