Great to see “Cadet Idaho” go to a lovely home
Some girls get diamonds for their silver wedding anniversary. I got 800 odd kilos of Brahman bull! 😂🐂❤️
We headed off to Rocky Brahman Week with a budget and every intention of sticking to it.
Then I met Cadet Idaho. 😍
A big, beautiful teddy bear of a bull. Just the sweetest, cuddliest fella, and a bloody nice type of bull to boot!
Now, I'm also a sucker for young people having a go, and Cadet is the next generation coming through from the family Token Brahmans and Horses. I loved seeing young Cody out there presenting his bull, and I was pretty keen to support him.
So, naturally, I kicked off the bidding!
We hit our budget pretty quickly, and with the bidding still going strong, I was getting ready to pull up. As much as I loved Idaho, I was getting a little nervous about spending any more.
But would you believe it, the big fella sitting beside me was egging me on! 😂
Shane knew how much I loved this bull, and apparently he wasn't nearly as worried about the budget as I was!
So we kept bidding, blew the budget, and now Cadet Idaho is coming home to Red Hill!
Some girls want diamonds, others want fancy jewellery. Apparently, I'm perfectly happy with a big, cuddly Brahman bull for my 25th wedding anniversary.
25 years married, one blown budget and a pretty special silver anniversary present.
Funny how 25 turned out to be such a good number! 😂❤️
Reckon I'll keep them both! 🐂❤️
