Black bulls everywhere this afternoon – if you were in the same paddocks as me near Norsewood!
I was taking photos at the annual Mt Mable Angus bull sale at Pukerimu – home to Kevin and Megan Friel.
It was a tad wet at times when viewing the bulls before the sale…
Jackets and gumboots were the order of the day … the drought seems like distant history
They don’t scare me (much) but they do give me rather a surprise at times when I stop looking through the wide angle lens and realise they are almost within touching distance!
and the auction begins 🙂
a great crowd
my favourite crowd shot of the day (I was going to crop it but photoshop is throwing a wobbly so I have put it on in all its raw glory)
back to the bulls in a less-wet moment… this is my favourite bull shot of the day (of course it would have been even nicer if a hadn’t replaced one of his front legs with a fence post…)
Here are more details about Mt Mable Angus 🙂
Atahua’s sale was held this morning on the other side of the mountains… and they shall continue for a few weeks yet!
