There has been speculation as to the nature of the Brown Bull.
In manuscripts the Bull is referred to as "an Donn Cuailgne". While
the word "Donn" means "brown" it is also the name of the ancient Irish God
of the Dead. There is also a related story which tells how two malevolent
magicians take the shape of Bulls and resume a longstanding feud.
