As a personification of the male head of the herd surely storm bull must represent the fertility of the herd to some extent, even though its principally a Uralda/Eritha role. After all it takes two to tango! But I don't recall having seen such an aspect described. But surely storm bull plays some essential role in the guaranteed fertility of the herds - and thus storm bull priests in the fertility rituals.

If most of the Eritha Priestesses of the tribes are married to the Wahas (Kahns or otherwise), then the necessity of an annual fertility ritual involving the Priestesses, some smelly Stormbull Priests and a large amount of sympathetic magical ritual must cause rather a lot of friction in the relationship!

Good news for the Stormbulls though, since for most of them the chance of getting laid the rest of the year is pretty slim.
