In order to do this, there exist prescriptions based on the study of samples of dark matter halos extracted from high-resolution Gaussian cosmological simulations (Navarro, Frenk, & White 1996; Bullock et al. 2001; Eke, Navarro, & Steinmetz 2001; Dolag et al. 2004; Gao et al. 2008).

To you, O reader, solely,
He only wants the horns and hide
To be a bullock wholly.
"One bullock Thou has taken, Lord,
And so it seemeth best.
Thy will be done, but see my need
And spare to me the rest!"

Inclined to clack and rattle
About his bullocks and his wheels —
He owns a dozen cattle.

Nor bullocks burnt with fire;
To hope and love, to pray and praise,
Is all that I require.

Will I the world reprove;

Without the fire of love.

The water splashed on the floor,
And a wet, yoke-weary bullock
Pushed in through the open door.
