ffs $220k for a bull? That's more than my house deposit. Must be nice to have that kinda cash to throw around while the rest of us are struggling with COL.

lol exactly, people out here spending 220k on a bull and I can't even get a landlord to fix the mold

Isla Cooper2026-06-22T09:20:13.000Z

facts bro, but tbh that bull would probably still be cheaper than rent in Auckland

get a grip mate, it's not like they're burning the money. It's an investment.

Tom Harris2026-06-22T08:44:13.000Z

Yeah nah that's insane but it's a bloody good return on investment if you're in the game. Each to their own I guess.

Honestly that bull's genetics will pay for itself in a few years. People don't get how much money is in top-tier stud breeding.

Eva Anderson2026-06-22T09:09:13.000Z

love seeing the ag sector thriving tbh. More money in farming = good for everyone

River Cole2026-06-22T09:28:13.000Z

lol cope harder you'll never have that kinda cash

Casey Adams2026-06-22T09:21:13.000Z

Must be nice to be a tax write-off for some rich bugger. Meanwhile farmers are screaming about freshwater regulations. Priorities lol.

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T09:28:13.000Z

imagine paying that much and it doesn't even come with a trailer lol

Casey Adams2026-06-22T09:57:13.000Z

yeah nah that's a fair point but still feels tone deaf when everyone's stressing about groceries

Jordan Bell2026-06-22T09:41:13.000Z

this is why I can't afford steak anymore 😭 all the good ones are being sold as breeders
