Wagin Woolorama wins

Saturday, March 8,, 2008

We had a good showing at this year's Wagin Woolorama with Bullock Hills Bruiser being judged the champion bull in the Any Other Breed Euro class. Judge Leon Giglia said Bruiser was very well balanced for a two year-old bull. He is not over excessive, but quite moderate with great depth of rib.
We also exhibited the first placegetters in the pair of commercial heifers competition.
The Shorthorn-Simmental cross heifers (pictured below) finished with 78 out of a possible 100 points. A pair of our Simmental-Hereford heifers finished in third place.
