See the screenshot, this mnemonic is just objectively bad.
Ok, so you see a body and head of a bull. Not helpful, because I don’t.
Maybe describe how the bull fits to the radical?

Don’t you see the horns on top, the head, the thick bottom and the tail? It’s clearly a bull.

@Turok Thanks but Leebo posted an image below that fits the description of the mnemonic better, which is exactly why an explanation would have been nice
@Leebo thanks for the picture! I see it now 
I just realized that though I was intending the body to be a salaryman style shirt and tie from the torso and up, it also looks like super spindly arms and a dress on a tiny body.

Train of thought: Why is there a zombie radical? → Well I guess china did have its versions of zombies → oh wait, wanikani doesn’t use the standard radical names… → But what if this is standard?
The zombie radical is a simplified form of this character, 袁 (meaning long, or relaxed clothing), which is not one of the kangxi radicals. It gets used as a phonetic element sometimes.
