Thank you for posting all of these pictures for us. I've really enjoyed all of them.
I'd love to get my hands on some braford bulls that look like that.

The quality of the cattle of all breeds there looks great. I love the Charbray cow amd baby.

No Greyman exhibited, unfortunately you see very few greyman period inside or outside a showring. The few I've seen were nice cattle but they've got stiff competition with a lot of good quality santas, charbray, brangus etc. There's currently a bit of hype around brahckle cattle which are a brahman speckle park composite.

So pretty!

I haven't seen a Droughtmaster since I was in college........many, many years ago.

Droughtmaster looks an awful lot like a Beefmaster---similar foundation breeding?
