They say they've had a good year with strong cattle markets and increased demand for Brahmin females.

So we start off, we'll have quite a few bulls.

We'll end up with 20 bulls for Brahman Week, but we start off, we might have 30 bulls that are around here.

We probably start off quite young, really.

We select them as weaners, so they'll...

We draft them through the yard and we put them into the pound one at a time and that, you know, temperament's a big thing with our selection.

So we won't stud number anything unless their temperament's right.

And can you tell me a little bit more about just how the year has gone generally for you?

What did, says the obvious question, but I just wanna know, it feel like having a Christmas number one?

And I had to listen to the radio as I did as a kid to find out where we were and I was really angry 'cause I couldn't get ahold of anyone.

No one would return my call and I was like, "Argh." Yeah, we found out, well, I found out listening to the radio and how I used to listen to a radio as a kid, you know, to get the countdown and I was listening, "Where are we?" I'm, "My God, we're not five.

We're not four.

We're not three." And it was like, "No, you're having a laugh." And it was very ...

It was a teary moment and it was good.

It was good.

You mentioned, uh, outside that you were quite drunk for a lot of the period [laughs] and you haven't mentioned that in here.

I don't know what became of it.

And they'd carved out a massive F-U in coke on the boardroom table and I thought, fuck.

Big arguments.

I remember Tom ringing me and telling me he's got me a five album deal and I s- and I was not happy.

Said, "How am I gonna write five albums? That's like at least 50 songs."
