A sheep sold for a record 350,000 guineas—or around $490,000 in American money—at an auction in Scotland this week.

The lamb, named Double Diamond, had generated buzz before the Scottish National Texel sale in Lanark started, according to a news release from the Texel Sheep Society. Bidding started at 10,000 guineas (about US$13,000).
