Scrub Farmers, Too!
Overheard at a recent pedigree bull sale: A man and his young son were studying the catalogue of bulls when the son asked the father: “What does C. 8.8. stand for Dad?” “It has two meanihgs son,” said the father. “The most important means Certified Butterfat Bull and the second is nearly as important as the first. It stands for Certain Butterfat Bloke, and without the latter the first cannot break records. There are scrub farmers as well as scrub bulls.”
