Answer
From the graph, it can be observed that:
Dairy cattle produce a large volume of semen, which tends to be less concentrated compared to sheep.
Sheep, on the other hand, produce less semen, but it is of higher concentration.
Overall, it appears that higher semen volume corresponds with lower concentration and vice versa.
