'World's most expensive' cow that was sold for $4.2M at high-stakes auction

This beautiful cow, known as Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis, has claimed the title of the world's most expensive cow.

Weighing over 2,400 pounds (1,100 kilograms), she is twice as heavy as the average adult of her breed. This exceptional price tag surpasses the previous record holder by threefold.

The auction took place on July 1, 2023, and Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis attracted significant attention due to her remarkable qualities. 

Brazil, known for its thriving cattle industry and as the top beef exporter globally, can proudly claim this bovine superstar as one of its own.

The cow's exceptional worth comes from careful breeding over many years. 

At exclusive cattle auctions, where prices are incredibly high, wealthy ranchers invest in top-quality genetics. 

Breeders collect eggs and semen from champion cows in the hopes of creating extraordinary offspring for the future.

Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis has three very desirable qualities that make her incredibly valuable.

First, she has fast muscle growth. Second, she has outstanding fertility. And most importantly, she can pass these traits to her offspring consistently.

Additionally, her posture, strong hooves, gentle nature, mothering ability, and overall beauty make her even more appealing.

Breeders are willing to pay a jaw-dropping $250,000 to collect Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis' egg cells. She is regarded as the closest example of perfection achieved thus far in the industry. 

With her comprehensive set of desirable characteristics, she embodies the qualities that cattle proprietors seek in their herds.

Remarkably, the price of this special cow is significantly different from the average cost of cows raised for meat or milk.

Regular beef cows usually sell for around $2,500 to $3,000, while dairy cows can range from $900 to $3,000. However, Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis has broken all records with her astounding price of $4.2 million.

The cow's astonishing price and its unique look have captured the public's attention on social media.

She can be happy that nobody kills her, one user said.

Hope it has beautiful babies and lives a happy, long life, the second user commented.

Hope she marries a handsome bull!! Lol, another joked.

Perspectivism is the best approach to things. There are better cows elsewhere. Why glorify this one, someone wondered.
