Benjy not worth £5000

That animal is nowhere close to being worth €6.3k or £5,000. Just because he didn't get heifers and cows in calf and is deemed gay he is saved from being made useful which would be to fatten him up and send him to the factory.
Looks to be worth well under €2,000 at most.

I wonder if this will lead to more animals being deemed gay given how much some are prepared to pay for a gay animal?

Yes, the premium is at least 300%...

First we have young women getting pregnant to get free homes, then we got foreigners coming here pretending to need asylum, now we have animals acting gay to get charity payments. Where will it end?

It was on my twitter feed and it was discussed over in the farming section of boards.

But I am all for gay animals and the premium prices they receive...

I wish the story ended with the bull riding everything he could find with a vagina and it turned out he'd played a big con on the rights groups.

Too late the cheque has been cashed !!!!

Any ewe that doesn't go in lamb this year is obviously a lesbian ewe. Please form an orderly que with bags of cash t hand, I'd say I could let them go for €800 each.

Interesting snippit from that report:

Bats are widely thought to be the animals with the highest rate of homosexuality among their male population.

Luckily the makers of Batman didn't know that, or they would have probably made all the characters extremely camp.

I've a shed of bulls that are most likely gay, where do I apply ??
Also some of the heifers are getting mighty friendly looking in ther shed, in the interests of equality I think they should be suitable for the gay bovine premium - is this am EU payment or is there seperate paperwork I need to complete.

What a load of bulls**t

whisky_galore

Hmph, anthropomorphize much?

Surprised they didn't stick a pair of pvc pants on him. Should post this on Farming and see how they react to a 'quaaare' Bull.

Donkey Oaty

Just a thought that this could be a shrewd investment - does whoever owns Benjy also have the rights to the musical and all merchandising?

KA-POW!!!

Well, Bully for whoever bought it, they've now got an overpriced load of beef that needs looking after until they're ready to slaughter it (if ever).

Ahh, I think Benji is lovely. There are loads of people raving about how wonderful Monty the penguin is but complaining about saving the big gay bull. Well I for one hope Benji has a long and happy life, maybe with a nice boyfriend to keep him company.:)

Little known fact that the Gardaí's PULSE system uses the same underlying architecture as was used in the batcomputer.

It doesn't seem to matter.:D Off topic, but I'm very disappointed by that ad, John Lewis has let me down this year, it's not nearly as good as last years the Bear and the Hare ad.

It would probably put an extra 6c on the price of a bowl of weetabix.

Sounds loike a KoCk n Bull sthory.

Well dey could make a better thest.

Maybe Benjy has hoigh standards when it cums to dippin his wick and
doesn't roide any aul slut.

So, I suggest :-
1. Take some really sexual pics of really good-lookin, horny cows (the Kim Kardashian type of cow)
2. Show them noice and slowly to Benjy
3. Then, someone to tickle his KoCk
4. And see if there's anything sthurrin down there ... loike ...

If you are going to just cut and paste from a joint Department of Agriculture/National Farmers Union press release, at least credit the source.

I don't know why people keep insisting that the bull is gay, might not be.

With very low water charges from an entity with no bonus payments that will never be privatised. Another load of bull.

Just because he has no interest in the cows, it doesn't mean he's gay...
Maybe he just doesn't give a fúck!

I've heard he plans to open an Afghan gay bar called Gaybul so it's pretty much confirmed.

Quiet please, some of us have investments in this stock market and we are looking for the bull run to continue.
