Laughable

It will be worth it!

Mental. I can understand that much for a Swiss Valais Blacknose, but not a bloody Suffolk! I hope the buyer has a good set of hand shears…

Yes sure , what was the second ad third price rams ? all fixed pre sale and breeders make their money from the mugs buying others in the pen when they get outbid , does nobody every learn .

tax dodge in a lot of cases i expect , does the industry no good , its all B/S , all these circuses is what i hate about pedigree breeding , I doubt there was much genuine trade over £3000 at the recent charollais prem , many of the winners and headliners had serious faults that would have seen them thrown out at Builth etc .I bet some of the online bidders were P55d when they collected the new purchase , Just wait for all the fairy stories in the next year book to hook a new cash input.

Chapped down to Boden???
Would that be Charlie Boden that sold the 350k Texel last year?

I didn't see you there, and the McCartneys ring camera certainly doesn't show anything very well.

I nearly replied to this post earlier, suggesting it wouldn't be long before someone came on claiming it must have been made up, that there was £180k luck money, that it wasn't 'proper farming' that was paying for it, etc.

I'm just surprised that nobody has yet suggested that he'll likely be as fertile as all those high priced Texel lambs from last year.

had plenty of eyes on the ground,at least half a dozen , inc 3 society judges , all sang the same song about the same animals ,society going to need to be careful long term doling out favours and turning a blind eye to the clique

 

[capfits]

Bet you it has really bonny black lugs.

 

[jamesy]

Didn’t realise the Bodens had moved onto Suffolk’s.

Certainly got legs like straining posts….
Sure the lambs will come out fine

 

[Anymulewilldo]

I don’t know of any other Boden in the big money sheep world? But that is a massive tax dodge… has been for the last 50 years there. Very very astute businessmen, the whole family.

Have you any proof to back up your statements. Very cheap comments to make without having any evidence. I was at the sale and would say that for most of the headline prices both buyers and under bidders were genuine and easily identifiable at the ringside. Didn’t think many sold online at all.

How does this tax dodge work?

 

[sheepwise]

Didn’t realise the Bodens had moved onto Suffolk’s.

Sold one at 40k too I believe.

Looked like the auctioneer knew it was to finish up at 200k. Going slowly at 32k then bids went up in5s then suddenly 10k bids. All done and dusted very quickly
