It looks Like Any Other Cow,

but it is a tad different,


photograph Andrey Camara/Unsplash, it is in fact a 4-and-a-half-year-old Nelore breed cow known as Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis, the Nelore, a cow breed highly valued all over the world for its qualities, such as their bright white fur, loose skin, and a large bulbous hump above their shoulders, Nelore cattle, named after the Indian district of Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, also have a very efficient metabolism, which allows them to thrive even on low-quality forage, but here is the thing, there are around 167,000,000 Nelore cows in Brazil, around 80 percent of the cattle in the South American country, and those cows have to come from somewhere, and that is where the cow above comes in, Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis above is the world’s most expensive bovine, one-third of the ownership of the cow was recently sold at an auction in Arandú, Brazil for 6.99 million real, at today's rate £114,850,755.66 or $145,935,109.02, and that was just for one third! So the next time you tuck into a burger, it just might have Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis in its lineage!
