$220k for a bull? yeah nah that's insane, could've bought a house in Gisborne for that price a few years ago

Why do they need such expensive bulls? Can't they just use a cheaper one? Asking for a friend 🐂

mate the genetics are proven, it's an investment not a pet. you wouldn't get it

Jordan Bell2026-06-23T03:48:37.000Z

as someone studying agri science this is actually huge for NZ genetics, that bull's gonna produce some top quality beef

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T04:37:37.000Z

yeah but $220k tho... that's a deposit on a house in most towns

reckon the farmer who bought it is gonna be crying when that bull kicks the bucket in 5 years. waste of money imo

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T04:07:37.000Z

meanwhile the rest of us can't afford a loaf of bread. but yeah cool, a bull for the price of a luxury car lol

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T04:34:37.000Z

each to their own mate, it's their money. good luck to em

Sam North2026-06-23T04:21:37.000Z

worked on a stud farm for years, this is not as crazy as ppl think. good bloodlines pay off big time down the line

Jordan Bell2026-06-23T04:36:37.000Z

exactly. people see dollar signs and lose their minds. this is about improving the national herd

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T04:35:37.000Z

good on them i say, love seeing local farmers get international attention. put Gisborne on the map eh

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T05:32:37.000Z

lol imagine being worth more than a house and still sleeping on straw

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T04:59:37.000Z

bet the cow that birthed him is chuffed. probably didn't expect her baby to be worth more than my entire household

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T05:40:37.000Z

found the farmer who's jealous he can't charge that much for his muesli

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T05:11:37.000Z

ffs imagine paying $220k for an animal that shits on the ground. priorities are cooked

Jordan Bell2026-06-23T05:28:37.000Z

the amount of ppl hating on this just shows how disconnected we are from where food comes from. this is good for the industry
