    People have been asking me what happens to the giant pumpkins after the weigh-off. This report on a prize-winning 2,856 pound pumpkin in the UK confirmed my feed-it-to-animals guess was correct, at least in some cases: “The record-breaking pumpkin is now on display at Sunnyfields Farm in Southampton, where it will be until the end of the month before it’s fed to cows.” Lots of other animals like pumpkin, too. https://nypost.com/2026/10/10/lifestyle/farmer-grows-worlds-heaviest-pumpkin-weighin...
