Had to ship our old Galloway herd bull today.  Pericles impressed many Galloway non believers with his mass and ease of movement.  Not to mention his awesome disposition.  He was 3 time NWSS Grand Champion Galloway bull.  56 inches tall and 2600 lbs of puppy dog gentleness.  His daughters are tremendous.

Sorry to hear it, I have admired him for years. The old boys that stick around so long get to be friends. Can I ask why?

Sorry to hear that Harley. He sure has turned a lot of heads and gained notoriety over his lifetime.
Young Moto Moto has some big feet to try to fill up!!

If he was a calf in 2009, (assuming he won his first title as a bull calf?)  he was only 4-5 years old.
What was his issue?

His photo is certainly impressive. The salebarn drive certainly gets long and the load heavy when your hauling away a friend.

He was a 2004 model.  He injured his stifle out at pasture in 2012.  He surprisinglyhealed up only to injure it again this year.  He covered a lot of miles in his lifetime.  Both in trailers going to shows or being collected.  Pasture bred 30-40 every year.
