The ring on her nose is to stop her mounting other cows. When the bull is removed hormones unfortunately don't just turn off and the cows sometimes get a little confused! The idea of the ring is that if she mounts another cow the spikes will cause the mounted animal to bolt. Sounds harsh but they can cause themselves some nasty injuries whilst trying to mount another cow. I hope that this answers your question.
Many thanks
