Britain's first £100,000 Sheep. A look back

Swaledale Ram makes £101,000 for Arthur Slack. A look back Britain's first £100,000 Sheep. A look back Cumbrian farmer and our friend Aurthur Slack was last night (2017) celebrating selling a pedigree ram for £101,000, the kind of money which could buy an attractive two-bed cottage on the edge of the Lake District. Eighteen-month-old Brackenber Bronco, a Swaledale ram, is said to be Britain's first six-figure sheep. His price easily beats the previous record price of £50,000 set in 1997 and is an indication of how much farmers are willing to spend as they restock their land after the devastation of last year's foot and mouth outbreak. Bronco was sold at Kirkby Stephen at the climax of a sale which caused jaws to drop. "The auction room was packed and once the price exceeded £50,000 you could have heard a pin drop," said Will Cockbain, Cumbria county chairman of the National Farmers' Union. "The whole room went silent when the animal was finally sold for £101,000." The ram was sold by Appleby farmer Arthur Slack. "We lost 4,000 sheep during foot and mouth but luckily this ram's mother survived while she was carrying him," he said. "Towards the end of the outbreak he also survived while he was a lamb." Bronco was bought by farmers Richard Hutchinson and Richard Harrison. Mr Hutchinson, now the 15th generation of shepherds on the family-run farm at Kirkby Stephen, said: "Prices have shot up since foot and mouth. The compensation payments do not cover how much we are having to pay to restock. https://harrisonandhetherington.co.uk... 00:00 Intro - The farm 00:10 Judging took place 00:15 The prize giving 02:00 He's some tup 08:00 Sold and away at 101,000 Gns Sheep auction, Livestock auction, Sheep sale, Sheep market, Farm animal auction, Buying sheep at auction, Selling sheep at auction, Best sheep auction moments, Sheep auction bidding, Tips for sheep auction buyers, Sheep auction prices, Sheep auction day, Livestock auctioneer, Rare sheep breeds at auction, Sheep auction documentary, Sheep auction experience, Sheep auction vlog, Sheep auction haul,
