00:36I'll tell you what, there's no number there, mate.
00:37There's no number there.
00:38What's the number?
00:39What do you like about this bull, Guy?
00:40Well, I guess the first thing, Simon, I'd like to say is we've been coming here for quite
00:52a while and using these bulls and the Higgins family have a great reputation for producing
00:58good practical cattle and that's probably what we like to do. We use these
01:02bulls in a herd breeding situation, breeding our own bulls. I guess we're all
01:07the time looking for something, different generics which this bull had. We're also
01:12very conscious of the data that's provided with them and you know the
01:16things that we look for is good calving ease figures, good growth, good carcass.
01:22This bull had all those sort of traits, in fact he's in the top 2% for all breed
01:27indexes, a lovely skin and muscle and just phenotypically he appealed to us.
01:32I guess the only thing that didn't appeal to us was that someone else liked him too, but you
01:37know just a well-balanced, all-around very good practical sort of bull.
