That's a bloody ripper bull, well done Taimate! Wish we could get those genetics up north.

it a rest mate. Farmers work hard and this is a massive achievement for the industry.

Country's going down the drain and we're celebrating a cow with a price tag that could feed a whole suburb for a year. Priorities eh

Can't even afford a flat white anymore but some farmer just spent a house on a cow 😂

your flat white is worth what exactly? Get some perspective
