The primestock show at the new market is in progress. David acknowledges the facilities are outstanding but can see that the competition's hot. Ruth gives their steer a final brush, assuring David he's done his best.

Clarrie's taken over while Joe gets a hot drink. She's doing well with mistletoe sales, and Eddie's hopeful for some decent tips.

Brian's anxious, especially when he hears a buzzing from the electrics. Annabelle calms him down and reminds him of how well they've done.

Ruth's mulling over the idea of switching to another processor to get a better deal. The steer doesn't win anything. David knows a rosette would have done wonders for their sales. Ben reckons they'll prove the judge wrong when they get tons of orders for their Christmas beef.

Brian and Jennifer toast the perfect launch. Jennifer notices an article about Joe in the newspaper. He's certainly made the most of the electrics failing. Jennifer's confident that next week's story will be about today's fabulous opening. Brian remarks that Pete Wilkes still hasn't got back to him about supplying feed. He'll have to ring him next week. Jennifer tells him he jolly well won't. They're going on holiday, and that's that.
