The six-month-old sheep was owned by Charlie Bowden, a breeder, and he sold it to a Sheep Farmers Consortium. Bidding for the crowd at the Scottish National Textile Sale started at 10,000, but the various parties there kept bidding more than each other and the price of the crowd went up.
The sheep, called Double Diamond, has been bought by a consortium of three farmers, who hope to breed more sheep from the sheep and turn their investment into a profitable business.
Jeff Aiken is a farm manager and he is one of the buyers. He said that if we talk about breeding, then we have to look at the small features, hair, color, texture of the head, everything.
"We have to pay so much to get unique genetics," he added. People involved in farming are also facing financial problems these days, there are very few farmers who can afford to pay so much.
Earlier, a sheep was sold for 230,000 pounds in 2009, but this time the world record has been broken. The Texal sheep belong to Texel, a small island in the Netherlands.
According to the Texel Sheep Society, a sheep is usually sold for thousands of euros or millions of rupees for breeding. The origins of the Texal sheep are unknown, but they are considered the best in terms of meat.
The Dutch Texel sheep attracted the attention of English breeders in the 1970s due to their high quality, but due to legal complications it was not possible to import them at that time and English breeders started trading French sheep, however in the same decade. At the end of the 18th century, British law changed and the trade of sheep of this breed became possible.
This breed is very compatible with the British food market, it not only easily withstands the harsh weather but also grows so big at the right time that it can be sold at a British slaughterhouse to make a profit.
