LAMB vs. LAMB
Oddly enough, the world's most expensive lamb doesn't have a big V-12 and 630 horses. It's not meticulously upholstered in Italian leather. It doesn't come in canary yellow. Oh, no. Because the world's most expensive lamb is actually a sheep.
Baa.
At a recent sheep auction in Lanark, Scotland, Jimmy Douglas paid roughly $392,000.00 for the 8-month old 'Devonshire's Perfection'-- the highest price ever paid for a single lamb and almost double the amount of the previous record.
The BBC article features a post-auction video of the proud new owner, who appears to be explaining his rationale for shelling out big bucks for a friggin sheep. Problem is, Mr. Douglas's Scottish accent is so thick that I can't understand a word he's saying. Except for maybe 'fur'. And 'aye'.
Maybe it's just me, but beyond what promises to be the world's priciest rack of lamb, I'm not sure what this guy is getting out of this.
Watch the video here, and then tell me what you make of it.
