December 19, 1966: South Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. Whoever heard of a butcher fighting for the life of a heifer. Pleading for the Ministry of Agriculture to reprieve and animal who is too beautiful to die. But then you haven't met PRIDE MORETA of Thorne, supreme champion of this years Smithfield Show, who is destined to die because the rules of the Show say so. But there is a snag. This big, black, soft Angus has a personality of her own. People fall for here as soon as they set eyes on her. Says Cardigan butcher JACK EVANS. All I did was to go up to London to achieve my ambition to buy the Supreme Champion, bring her back, show her off a bit, and serve her upper Christmas. I paid 1300 pounds for her and she is worth less than 100 pends as steak. But what happens. She gets herself on TV and suddenly she's a star. She comes home and gets a redemption from the Mayor and everyone falls for her because she is such a beauty. Its got to the stage where I couldn't kill her either. Even butchers are human, you know.Mr. jACK EVANS, pictured with PRIDE MORETA, the girl who is too beautiful to die. (Credit Image: © Keystone Press Agency/ZUMA Press Wire). EDITORIAL USAGE ONLY!
