53.677 - 79.701

To Mighty Angus in Marlborough, they raise bulls and they sell bulls. They have been in the bull breeding game for half a century at To Mighty Angus. And they have just set their first national record for how much they've sold one of their bulls for. Oh, congrats to them. I had no idea you could pay this amount of money for a bull, but they've just sold a bull for $168,000. What?

Chapter 3: What factors contribute to the high price of bull semen?

91.431 - 111.585

Holy hell. He's a breeder and he's off to live the good life in Gisborne. You literally just, well, I assume you just buy these bulls to get your other cows pregnant with high quality. No, that's exactly why. Bull stuff. Yep. Get a good bloodline going, Clint. That's what it's all about. Well, I agree. But, you know, we do have a resident bull expert on the show.

Pretty fair. Well, obviously the breeding's there and the demand's there. So, yeah, I've seen those prices before and I've seen higher.

141.387 - 146.053 Joanne McNally

Dad, you're not bloody spending my inheritance on bulls that expensive, are you?

146.877 - 153.003 Big Steve

Rihanna, when they're good quality bulls, I mean bulls, you've got to pay the money, mate.

197.767 - 207.63 Joanne McNally

How much, Dad, because you bought, I know for a fact you did import some bull semen from America, some speckled park. How much did you pay for that vial?

208.42 - 223.645 Big Steve

Well, what we actually did, we bypassed that because it was too expensive. What we did was we actually got important embryos. Oh, okay, already fertilised.

Gotcha, gotcha.

224.346 - 230.796 Big Steve

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Cut out the middleman. We went down, yeah, because... Yeah, we went down that road there. We wanted to get there quicker.
