Who bought it? was it a local butcher or the butcher not to far away from here who seems to be buying a lot of very expensive prize winners from all over the British Isles.

Bought by the judge Philip parkin on behalf of kitsons of Stockton on Tees? Same Kitson bought the champion at English winter fair did he not? Another £7k.

Is that bragging rights or what to result in a price like that?
Good on the vendor but how does the buyer cope with that?

A cynic might wonder how many kilos of meat would be sold from the high priced ‘Champion’ carcasses. Would they kill out at near 500% do you think?

5,000,000%

High end restaurant opened up around here a few years ago by a known local con artist. He bought 5 welsh black cows in calf and before they’d calved he had welsh black meat on the menu

Shame to kill it

Thought that was the idea of the fat stock shows. But I know what your saying.

I think i heard one judge comment at the winter fair that he had flushed embryos from a champion he bought a few years ago

I’m guessing a lim x blue?

Must have wanted to do the clean sweep, isn't that him listed as buying of the champion at the RUAS show.

A lot of the cattle he buys are put in sheds and fed and sold back in the fat rings again a year later at massive weights

 

[Poorbuthappy]

Don't know who bought it, but as @Woolless says, it could have ' gone on' to be shown again or, if it's a big buyer, look at it this way.........

.....he buys a hundred a week, so his 'other cattle' are.........
100 beast at 700kg @£3/kg................................£210,000
add 1 show beast at 700kg @ £10.20/kg.........£7,140

Total cost = £210,000+ £7140 = £217,140
Average cost per head = £2149.90
Average cost per kg = £3.07

So, he paid big money for the winner but his average isn't affected very much at all.

So bragging rights...

What sort of weights if he's buying them at 700kg?

Must have had one hell of a year to buy all the champions, fair play. Be some sight all in the same shed lined up at the trough, and i agree with @Shebb90 it does seem a shame to kill them.

anyone at sedge today ?

 

[thorpe]

Tradition for the meat men to give abit back at xmas by buying the champions at big money. Judge is usually expected to buy it and he gets rolled on abit too. Good bit of advertising when all the local papers do an article on the local butcher buying the champion. Champion at ludlow today was 660kg and made £4 kg

did woolys have it ? what do they do with all of them?

 

[tinsheet]

Anybody get to Black Moor Gate

Took my last load out, 30kg kg texel types odds and sods £97.
Certainly not getting cheaper, dearest I saw big lean Suffolk s £127.
Didn't hear what the average was but suspect £100+

 

[Rogstores]

We’re they both heifers what he bought , they said the winter fair heifer was going for breeding, at lot of these butchers are selling these champions a lot of times

You wouldnt think a fatstock champion hfr would have the ideal maternal traits for breeding but i suppose its all about embryos and side door calvings to create champion fatstock in the modern era !

It's amazing how the local butcher "manages" to keep enough champion meat to sell into the new year! There's rumers that he's related to a fomous Cooperfield.
