We all know about cow's importance in Vedas. If cow is called the mother then bull is the father.

So what are some Vedic verses which glorify the bull?

Even the Mahabharata gives importance to bull by saying "bull among men" etc And, the Vedas too call Gods like Agni as bull.

what are some Vedic verses which glorify the bull?

In AtharvaVeda Kanda 4 -Sukta -11 Anagvaan Sukta. Supreme Brahman ( Ishwara) is symbolically called as bull ,who carries the cart load of this universe.

अङ्गवान दाधार पृथिवीमु द्यामनडवान दाधारोर्वSन्तरिक्षम् ।
अङ्गवान् दाधार प्रदिश: षडूर्विरङ्गवान विश्वं भुवनमा विवेश ।।1।।

Prithivi (earth) is held by Ishwara ,who is pulling a cart of this universe and who is in the form of bull. He also holding Swarga Loka (Heaven), Antariksha (Space) as well as all the six directions like east etc. In this way this way this Anagvaan (puller of cart) ishwara is incusive in all the worlds (Universe).

Here Ishwara( Brahman) is said to be a bull who is pulling cart of universe. Here he is compared with bull , who is having power to pull cart of load.

    This not answering the Q. OP is asking just like there are Vedic mantras that praise the Cow are there similar mantras for the bull? Your answer says Iswara is compared to Bull but Op wants to see where Bull is compared to some Gods etc.
