00:00I couldn't go past this bull here for that sire peel. The strength is fine and when you get behind

00:06him and what I really loved about him was his depth of flake and convexity of high quarter.

00:11That's what they appeal to me and he's just a free moving bull and they complement each other.

00:18I can remember in the class when she came here up there was a fair few in the class

00:22and in the back of my mind I thought I had her in my first placing but then I eventually moved

00:27it down into third just surely because of structure soundness and that's what I did.

00:33And there's some bulls down here like this bull here I think is 10 months of age. He's like 500

00:39and something kilos so wait for age but he's a little bit shorter than the counter bones so he's

00:44not going to be a big bull and and he does roll over on the front feet so I just sort of I want

00:49longevity out of my females and males and the bull that I placed over the top of him I do see a lot

00:55of potential I mean it wasn't as heavy as apple but I see a lot of potential in and I told the young

01:00girl to go and tell her parents that.
