1,110 kilogram Friesian bullock formerly kept as family pet sells at Naracoorte weekly market

A Friesian bullock named Russell, weighing in at 1,110 kilograms, has changed owners at a weekly cattle sale in Naracoorte, South Australia.

Nutrien Ag livestock agent Brendan Fitzgerald said the six-foot tall bull sold “at the normal Tuesday market” for 220 cents a kilogram.

Mr Fitzgerald said Russell’s previous owners decided it was time for the big animal to move on, after keeping the bullock as a family pet on their property in Bordertown.
