Grace Patel2026-06-16T05:50:01.000Z

tbh that bull is probably more useful than half the politicians out there. at least it produces something.

wow what a waste of money. could have fed a whole community with that

Chloe Martin2026-06-16T06:36:01.000Z

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T06:29:01.000Z

nah this is an investment. that bull's calves will make that back tenfold. but sure keep crying about it

Aria Wilson2026-06-16T07:08:01.000Z

Grace Patel2026-06-16T06:35:01.000Z

Chloe Martin2026-06-16T06:47:01.000Z

can't wait to see this thing at the next A&P show. bet it's got a better haircut than me.

Isla Cooper2026-06-16T06:55:01.000Z

honestly impressed. farmers working hard to produce quality stock. good on them.

Grace Patel2026-06-16T07:32:01.000Z

Aria Wilson2026-06-16T07:04:01.000Z

this is why we can't have nice things... like affordable housing

Chloe Martin2026-06-16T07:29:01.000Z
