The previous record of R110/kg wasalso set during the annual auction atthe Royal Show in Pietermaritzburg.
The champion carcass recorded ascore of 97,24% from the judges.

lamb is R52/kg.The figure is one of the highest ev
er achieved at the Royal, which stillholds the world record of R3 000/kgfor lamb, set in 2007.

Business seminar ‘an eyeopener’
THE British will celebrate National Fish and Chip day today and the Americans will tuck into sweet treats on their National Doughnut Day.
Here in South Africa, Shoprite presents BigRed Friday — claimed to be the supermarket’s largest ever oneday savings promotion on groceries.
Big Red Friday will see consumers save upto 50% off selected products.
This oneday only sales opportunity is theShoprite chain’s version of Black Friday, which attracted considerable attention in November last year when sister chain Checkers was the first supermarket to bring the sales promotion to South Africa.
Black Friday is the Friday after ThanksgivingThursday in America, when retailers break with massively discounted merchandise and the concept has mushroomed across the world.
