I read this in a lifestyle mag.
The woman had written in a story. She had two Jersey heifers, Buttercup and Clover. When they were "coming of age" she put the word out that she was looking for a young Angus bull to come to visit for awhile. The bull arrived and serviced Buttercup. Because the bull was smaller than the heifers the woman put a holter on Clover to assist the young bull.
" I was planning my next move when I saw the bull approaching. Not wanting to miss an opportunity, I tightened my grip and hung on, trying to get traction on the slippery grass as Clover surged forward.
The bull put everything into the attempt. Clover lunged, my feet slipped out from under me and own I went, feet first between her front legs, then underneath her. After she ad run over the top of me, I was then privileged to observe, at close range, the sight that not many people could say they've seen. Hovering just inches above my face was the under side of a bull's belly, with all his bits and pieces as he continued jumping after Clover.
I was incredibly lucky that I wasn't hurt and escaped with only my dignity bruised. After that, I left them to it as I felt in need of a sit down and some sustenance. I was relieved to see a few hours later, with the help of a downward slope, nature finally take its course.
With amazing luck, both girls became pregnant from the one mating and produced beautiful little black calves with their father's cheeky face."

I got halfway through that story and was expecting a different outcome!
