THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE COW, HAS MADE HISTORY BY SELLING FOR Rs 40 CRORE AT AN AUCTION IN MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL. (PHOTO).


 The worldā€™s most expensive cow, Viatina-19, an Indian Nellore breed, has made history by selling for Rs 40 crore at an auction in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

 Weighing 1,101 kilogramsā€”nearly twice the average weight for her breedā€”Viatina-19 was purchased for $4.8 million, setting a new record for the priciest cow ever sold.


Viatina-19 is famous for her exceptional genetics and impressive physical traits. She earned the title of ā€œMiss South Americaā€ at the ā€œChampions of the Worldā€ competition, renowned for her outstanding muscle structure and rare genetic lineage. These qualities have made her highly sought after, with her embryos now being exported globally to enhance breeding programs.


The Nellore breed, also known as the Ongole breed in India, is prized for its resilience and adaptability. Originating from the Ongole region in Andhra Pradesh, India, these cows can withstand extreme temperatures, making them valuable in tropical and subtropical areas. Their strong immunity and ability to survive in harsh conditions with minimal care contribute to their growing demand in the global cattle industry.


With her striking white fur, prominent hump, and loose skin, Viatina-19 is not only visually impressive but well-adapted to handle heat. Her sale highlights the increasing demand for the Nellore breed, particularly in regions where heat tolerance and disease resistance are critical. The breed has been integral to Brazilā€™s cattle industry since the 1800s, improving livestock productivity and genetic quality.
