REBEL KICKS - STILL THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW
Another show season is over, and it has been one to remember for Moralee Herefords winning both the Horned and Polled National Championships. But even though he is now eight years old and enjoying his retirement, the legend that is Rebel Kicks still shines as the true star of the show!
Within the space of a year two of his progeny have achieved greatness - Moralee 1 Pippa RK281 National Polled Show Champion and Moralee 1 Big Time RK349 selling for the UK and European record price for a Hereford bull of 22,000 Guineas.
