A South Island bull has broken a record and sold for ninety two and a half thousand dollars ($92,500).That's nearly ten times the average price.

The bull came from a line of long-living bulls raised on Meadowslea Farm in Fairlie by the Giddings family.

He was bought by a breeder in the Wairarapa, and apparently the competition to win him was fierce.

George Giddings from Meadowslea Farm talks to Jesse about their special sale.
