The Vendor said it all really "Its the best Bull that he has sold in the market" and indeed it was also the best price.  Well done to D & S Wharton for acheiving this record price for such a quality young Bull.

The rest of the store cattle were hard to determine at times, with some very, very dear and some of the smaller heifers easier - probably something to do with the weather. Overall a very satisfactory day - yet again.
