Can’t you pick your own ?

Can’t you pick your own ?

Need to see them to pick them. Can’t see them walking in their pens. At least in the show you can see the bull you like against his peers and see if he is big enough for his age. You can see how he behaves to give an indication of temperament.
I watch the show and pick a list of bulls that I’d be happy to take home, then spend the sale trying to buy at my budget.

They still averaged over £5000. Not a catastrophe.

It was a very disappointing sale - at least for those selling.

There were some very good bulls to be had for under £4000, many with Ampertaine sires. I suppose not a lot of folk will be looking for bulls just now, so maybe the time to buy a bull is 8 months before you need him.

I only saw about the last half hour of the sale, but I agree, didn’t have much go about it. My picks, lot 6, which would of been within budget made 7500gns and my day dream lotto win bull made 24000gns

There and at Stirling today looked hard going, the bf tups will wipe the floor with them for prices this week.

Nobody would know how old they are tho, that is one of the problems.

A proportion of those pedigree bull breeders are more bent than the Naples mafia.

Correct ! And they ruin bull sales because the ordinary commercial man just says stiff it and goes n buys his bull privately .
