Original text on this topic:
The territorial bull alone sprays urine which is directed backwards between the hind legs.
Sometimes the urine emerges as a stream and the dung is deposited without scattering. These actions are common near territorial boundaries, but may take place anywhere within the territory. However, when the territorial bull has to leave his territory to drink, he urinates in a stream in the manner of subordinates (Owen-Smith, 1973).
