This example is a record-class bull with excellent-quality taxidermy, measuring 25¼ inches from the wall, 37 inches high, and with a horn-span of 18 inches.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
