A four-and-a-half-year-old Nelore cow named Viatina-19 FIV Mara Emovis sold for an incredible $4.3 million at an auction in June 2023, making her the most expensive cow in the world.
Cattle from Nelore are renowned for fetching high auction prices. Due to their exorbitant cost, corporations or individual owners frequently share ownership of these cows.
Why the most expensive cow in the world was sold for that amount
For a few main reasons, they are thought to be the future of Brazil’s beef industry:
- Good genes for breeding: They are perfect for breeding next generations of cattle because of their favourable features.
- Environmentally friendly: Because of their special traits, Nelore cattle may have less of an impact on the environment than other breeds.
- Heat tolerance: They can withstand the heat because of their sluggish metabolism.
- Poor pastures: They are capable of effectively digesting even poor quality feed.
- Pest resistance: They can fend off insects and parasites thanks to their strong skin.
With its enormous herd of 225 million cattle, which includes Nelore, Brazil is expected to maintain its supremacy in the beef market for some time to come. This is partly because of China’s fight against African swine flu, which killed and reduced their pig population and produced a tremendous demand for Brazilian beef, and the Nelore breed’s remarkable ability to flourish in Brazil’s harsh environment.
The exceptional genetic makeup of Nelore cattle, which have remarkable adaptations to the Brazilian environment and amazing metabolisms, accounts for their exceptional pricing, which surpass records. They will undoubtedly be a great asset for the nation’s cattle industry in the future.
