A cut caused by a bull's tail, without saliva entering the wound, is not a rabies exposure. Tetanus and rabies are different; your TT injection covers tetanus only. Since a doctor examined you and advised no vaccine, rabies vaccination is not indicated from this history.
Next Steps
If saliva was definitely on the fresh wound, or an animal bite/scratch occurred, wash with

Since a doctor examined your actual wound and felt vaccination wasn't needed, that in-person assessment carries more weight than a text description.
Next Steps
If the cut gets deeper, dirty, or doesn't heal cleanly over the next few days, please get it looked at again.
Health Tips
Your tetanus shot from last year covers a separate risk and doesn't substitute for a rabies assessment if things change.
