Chickens isn't the Pope known as the top dog so to speak?
Auctioneers are real entertainers if they are good, been to a few over the years when my old man was in the "meat game". Part showman, part swindler. Not too dissimilar to the old market traders.

Chickens? Popes? You've lost me there!
I read an article years back about people showing chickens. And the best of the breed in a particular category was known as the "Pope".

Ah. Nothing to do with barbel then!
I did years back, think about doing something with the info. Good spot.
The 'Collie Story' has made a few headlines today in the press. Apparently Megan was bought by a Wagyu beef cattle farmer from Oklahoma. He also stumped up £216,000 for a Wagyu heifer the other week. Im sure the dog would prefer to stay in blighty mind you.

Sounds like Loadsamoney mentality. They could get a perfectly good working dog for a lot less. I hope the new owner knows how to handle it.

I wonderd about if he could handle the dog. The shepherdess as you probably know wrote 'One Girl and Her Dogs' back in 2013. Best do some fecking work mesen.

Aye, she's one of the celebrity shepherd/ess clan.
Thats £18,900 ! Racehorses are still sold in guineas .
Don't always believe that the price farm livestock makes at these top sales is the price actually paid, thes a lot of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours goes on to keep prices up at times, also the buyer can receive a big chunk of "luck money" from the seller.
That certainly goes on, but I don't know how it would work with a phone bidder from the USA in the case of dogs. You can't go and stuff a wad of notes in their hand in the car park!
Very true Dave, I couldn't agree more, some off them are genuine prices, or may be purchased by a small group off people to use as an investment, hence the prices can rocket as a group off four or five have more buying power than a single person, auctioneers also know this and a good auctioneer can run the price up with false bids, more commission for him.
It's certainly a fascinatiing world for an outsider.
Friday's sale might make it to the TV.

It is Dave, you can't beat a good auction, and a good auctioneer is entertaining to watch, it's a very skilled job tbh.
I love the auctioneer banter too.
Yup which auctions do you go to Dave? Have you been to pure breed poultry sale yet, they are an eye opener, not only the people that go but the price off fancy hens!!
It was pure bred poultry where I got the bug back in 2013! Shows first then auctions. I've got to know quite a few in 'the fancy' now and had pics published in Fancy Fowl magazine. But sheep and sheep dogs are taking over these days. I'm a bit burnt out with chickens.
Been meaning to ask you for a while Dave if you've been to see anyone at R & E Bamfords near where you are? One of the company owners are into show Bantams.

Bamford's sponsor the local bantam society and it's where I buy my bird seed and hemp from. They're into racing pigeons too.

I would expect the dog will go with a whole sheaf of ownership instructions or possibly the owner will accompany the dog to see she is settled in with commands she understands.
This is a really odd combination, a Japanese beef animal that has never been worked by an English collie, which might never have worked cattle, receiving commands from an American farmer.
In truth she was probably purchased for breeding.
(and if we look what they did to our Herefords our dog breeders will need to look out).

Agree the dog was probably bought for breeding. Or status.
Collies have been exported to the USA, Canada and the rest of the world for decades. They still come to the UK for the best.

Crikey. How many pigeons do you have?
None Dave, it's my 'real' job - I sell pet & animal food when I'm not messing about with lures & fishing tackle.
