Rambo, £189,000 superstud
THIS is Rambo, the bull just sold for a world record £189,000.
The Limousin was declared champion at the breed’s spring show in Carlisle before being put up for auction.
Competition judge Patrick Greaney described him as the best bull he had ever seen.
Bidding started at £5,250 but soon smashed the previous breed record of £147,000.
Rambo was sold by Welsh breeder Gerwyn Jones to a partnership of two herds from Cumbria and Cheshire.
Iain Scott, speaking for the buyers, said after Saturday’s sale: ‘Rambo is possibly the best bull we have seen offered. He will be going straight to stud.’
