British breeds at Brisbane Ekka

[townfarmer]

The Brisbane Ekka has come and gone for 2015. Lots of fantastic cattle on display once again. I'll start things off with the British breeds. Out of interest the south devon cattle belong to Colin who is former CT poster "Australian".

Herefords
I often hear you guys talk about the length of hip, well this guy had a hip for days.

That first Hereford bull certainly was big. Even though his size what fairly extreme he seemed to move around pretty effortlessly.

Man, after seeing that Murray Grey I'm wondering why more of us aren't raising those critters?

Nice animals.

That first Hereford looks enormous.
Is it me, or does the front half of the Murray grey not match the back half? Seems like he's lacking some rear?

I thought the very same thing after looking at the photo of the Murray Grey bull.

I could handle a paddock full of cows like the MG cow - she's a beauty IMO

As always, beautiful! That one Hereford is a giant!

x3 The back half of the MG looks like it is off a different bull than the front. Based on one pic, I don't like the MG bull at all....But the MG female would receive Best of Show honors! She's a beauty for sure!

The guy with the Angus bull has the most capacity of any of the bulls. He wins that honor. :mrgreen:
