Having gotten what I went for (excessive bone, muscle, and a little sheath), I left after 22.
Yeah, I know he doesn't have a neck, if he did there's no way he'd have made it to our pens. We're not messing with anything that has the Charolais diluter gene and there wasn't another black bull there with as good a combination of power and bone. We desperatly needed a meat wagon terminal bull that won't clean up American cows too much to fill out a lineup. In fact, for what he'll be working on most of his faults either aren't an issue (PHA carrier) or are a positive for us (dewlap and sheath).
In "dang, that's pretty nice" news...they were on top of things enough to get the bull a ride home quicker than I could make it home myself.
