The only Hereford bull we've had prior to this one was the expensive Merrythought item, then we had a gap, and now hoorah, we have this very affordable soft plush option. O yes and watch out, it comes complete with 'dangly bits' , fine for farmer types but it's a bit graphic for one or two people around here! Really fun though..great detail! 9 inches 23 cm (seems bigger!!!).
