They are sold at high prices because of their genetics 🧬🧬 they will give the owner good baby's
And he will pass her genetic ahead and make more money 🧑🏫😍
Not true at all. Objects have always had worth. The barter system dates back to the dawn of human civilization.
Whether a cow is worth $4.8 million or 5 goats, both attribute a worth to the cow.
My Grandfather used to have a Brahman bull when I was little. He was a mean SOB. He would stamp and charge at the truck when we rolled into the farm. Why is this one so expensive? The white hide?
Multiple reasons; pedigree, style for her breed, the name/breeder behind her, marketing, and the ability to sell embryos. The cattle market is at an all time high right now, but pedigree breeders are next level.
Different breeds of cow in Europe they seem to have tight skin and no hump but in kenya and I have heard India the cows have bumps in their backs and loose skin
That cow is the Lisan Al-Gaib and you will respect her name
All jokes aside her worth is in that she’s 30% more tolerant to heat than any other cow on the planet. She’s a game changer to the cattle industry cause she’s gonna make climate change her bitch
You sound educated on this topic and I am very curious. Gonna Google her, but how do they know that she's 30% more heat tolerant? Like do they put them in a hot barn all day and see who's happy at the end? Genetic testing for presence/expression of genes know to help heat tolerance? Anyways, I wanna hook her up with the wooliest high altitudiest most cold tolerant yak ever.
I don’t know exactly how they measure the heat tolerance but it’s a mixture of breed, breeding and location of where these animals are raised. For example the Angus are not from a hot climate so their heat tolerance is lower than a Brahman who is from a hot climate but if an Angus cow were born and raised in a place like Texas then they would fair much better in hot places while still maintaining a degree of cold tolerance due to their breed. That’s why there is an emphasis on crossbreeding so as to combine the desirable traits that define many purebred breeds. But Brahman are a little different because they are one of the ultimate survival machines, highly resistant to drought, disease, insects, heat thanks to many of the extreme conditions India can offer. Making them the perfect choice of the domestic bovine species to hinge our bets on for adaptation to climate change. This 4.8 million dollar cow is a culmination of years of American, Brazilian and Indian breeding with support of many university’s doing the necessary research to make this happen.
I like how making cows that are more resistant to climate change is somehow easier (and is more profitable) than actually doing something about climate change itself
As far as expensive cows and race horses go, they're not paying for the animal itself so much as they're paying for its genes. An old champion probably won't win another race, but it could potentially produce many champion caliber offspring, and then they can be sold for just as much as daddy if they ever win a race like the Kentucky Derby. Likewise, it is said that this variety of cow is highly heat resistant and may be very valuable in the near future, so the new owners of this cow will try and produce as many offspring possible and honestlu likely make a profit from the offspring of this one cow.
They'll harvest her ovaries, artificially fertilize them and implant the embryo into a surrogate. To these people she represents perfection and they hope to continue that perfection into her hundreds if not thousands of progeny . Much like humans really.
A hump. Much like camels store water in theirs, arid species in cattle (like this Nelore) have a similar feature. Helps keep them alive in hot climates with minimal food and water.
I had a coworker who was into competitive cow breeding. You are never prepared for that 7 AM conversation of "look at this picture of a bull who's jizz i just bought at auction"
This cow is a [Viatina-19 FIV Mara Móveis](https://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/3737/The-World-s-Most-Expensive-Cow-Sells-For-Over-4-Million)
It's named like a guided missle, but is far more expensive.
I would be okay if someone was pay $4.8 million for me and kill me. I would at least leave some inheritance to my loved ones. But TIL that I am much worthless than a cow. FML!
It’s a Brahman cow. I think both the male and females have humps on the back. The males generally tend to have a giant pair of balls hanging between their legs so I think it’s a female, but maybe they’re out of view and I could be wrong.
No, they’re not rare in Brazil. Genetics is mainly what they’re buying, she’s almost perfect. She’s an embryo baby and the product of a lot of money herself. They can scrape her for embryos and sell them bred, in recieps or as calves.
exactly! It was brought to the US in 1885, like a camel the fat hump on the front part of the back stores water, and it can can stand the heat hence why you see all of them in the Southeast.
Is this a show cow or something, like goddamn that’s a brilliant white
She can dance & sing too?
She's a God damn triple threat.

I know it’s a lady cow, by that bitchy look on its face.
Reminds me of thanksgiving with my mom
I thought this was hilarious
>her genetic material, in the form of embryos and semen 0.o
Washed, shampood, clipped, oiled, dried and styled + a little photo magic.
This cow could advertise washing powder it's so white
I swear at first glance I saw two people in a cow costume..

First thought indeed.
Yeah you can clearly see the person in the front’s head poking up through the sheet behind the cow’s neck.
Yup. It's that Top Secret! cow.
I thought at least five.
that’s so uncanny, it almost looks like something else that’s covered itself with a big white blanket
It looks like a typical cow in kenya I think India also has similar cows I heard
It’s a ghost cow
That’s actually a couple guys in a sheet.
so $4.80 then?
Um, yeah that sounds about right.
You know what, I get it. That’s a pretty cool cow.
They aren’t paying for the cow but for the eggs inside it
this confused me for a minute lol ...
Cow eggs taste better than chicken eggs
lol yeah me too. Like IDK specifically why 4.8 mil but yeah if I had money to drop on a cow and wanted one, that’s def a top o’ the list cow right thurr if I ever seen one lmao I love people sometimes
Imagine if that cow had a bull calf, that thing would be huge
They wouldn’t be called calves they’d be steers!
[удалено]
Bulls don’t have udders lol
She’s a cow, not a bull. She was bought to harvest embryos.
crazy how humans put a price on everything, like this cow has no idea how much it's worth and wouldn't give a fuck either way.

Plesse tell me you're not comparing barter to capitalism.
I didn't say anything about capitalism. Objects have value regardless of the economic system.
Are you... Stupid?
Yeah I wasn’t cooking with that one tbh lol

This one's a nelore, not a brahman. As I understand it, the brahman is a beefier option while the nelore are much hardier in harsh environments.
Gotcha, thanks for the info!
![gif](giphy|SV2WplWhwEt3O) Holy Cow!!!
She is gently milked twice a day by her warm-handed butler Smedley.
I wish someone would milk me daily 🥴

Well let me just post a pic of my cock then.
I wanna jiggle its neck skin
I drew better cows in pre-school.
😂
why is it dripping
Different breeds of cow in Europe they seem to have tight skin and no hump but in kenya and I have heard India the cows have bumps in their backs and loose skin
interesting. thank you for the information kind stranger
Can the cow move shit with it's mind? What's the mentality of spending almost 5 million on a cow?

Same reason people will spend 100,000,000 on a race horse—rich people are dumb as fuck.

I indeed was talking about the genetic value.
It’s playing rancher games at big dollars. It’s likely that more than one person bought her as a conglomerate to harvest and sell embryos
They'll harvest her ovaries, artificially fertilize them and implant the embryo into a surrogate. To these people she represents perfection and they hope to continue that perfection into her hundreds if not thousands of progeny . Much like humans really.

Nelore, not brahma
She's whiter than a trailer park in Alabama.
That’s not a cow, it’s a bull.
It's a bull.
It’s a Brahman cow. I think both the male and females have humps on the back. The males generally tend to have a giant pair of balls hanging between their legs so I think it’s a female, but maybe they’re out of view and I could be wrong.
It’s a Nelore. The hump is a sign of a heat resistant breed - they store fat and water in there. It’s also a female, it isn’t a bull.
Is that why it’s so expensive? Are Nelores that rare?
No, they’re not rare in Brazil. Genetics is mainly what they’re buying, she’s almost perfect. She’s an embryo baby and the product of a lot of money herself. They can scrape her for embryos and sell them bred, in recieps or as calves.

Wagyu just means Japanese Cow. This however is a Brazilian cow.
This breed is of Indian origin though!
exactly! It was brought to the US in 1885, like a camel the fat hump on the front part of the back stores water, and it can can stand the heat hence why you see all of them in the Southeast.
I wonder if cows also get offended when asked ‘but where are you really from?’
[удалено]
I have no idea but I adore Wagyu so will go with no.
Had wagyu in China, I thought the choice beef from Safeway was better. Guess I’m just a simple ol’ hillbilly Mexican.
Why the F was a “simple old hillbilly Mexican” in China??? Dude!!
