Can't believe they still do these old-school bull sales. My old man used to go every year, reckon it's just an excuse for a piss-up 😂

Never heard of a custom sale barn before. Is this a big deal in farming circles? Genuinely curious...

Wow, 300 people for a bull sale? Must be some pretty special bulls. Or maybe just bored farmers with nothing better to do on a Wednesday.

tbh I don't get the hype but good for the East Coast economy or whatever. More power to the farmers.

Fkn oath, best bulls in the country! Been to these sales, the bidding gets intense. If you know, you know.

lol imagine paying tens of thousands for a bull. Mate you can get a decent ute for that price and it'll serve you better 😂

nah get stuffed. These sales are legit, some farmers make serious bank off good genetics.

Reese Morgan2026-06-26T22:29:00.000Z

you clearly don't get farming. A good bull pays for itself in one season. Ute just depreciates.

River Cole2026-06-26T22:02:00.000Z

Bloody hell, bull sales? What a load of shit. Who even cares.

Ella Thompson2026-06-26T22:28:00.000Z

Honestly this is kinda fascinating. The fact that people travel from all over NZ and even overseas for local bulls says something about our farming rep.

Ella Thompson2026-06-26T23:24:00.000Z

honestly. I'd love to go just to see what it's like!

Sky Murphy2026-06-26T23:01:00.000Z

Meanwhile the rest of us are trying to afford a house. But hey, at least the bulls are thriving… 🙄

cope. Some of us just don't give a toss about cows.
