A new world record has been set in Brazil with the sale of Viatina-19, a Nelore cow, for an astonishing $4.8 million. This makes her the most expensive cow ever sold.
Viatina-19 is an extraordinary animal, weighing 1,101 kilograms—twice the average size of a typical Nelore cow. She is highly valued for her strong muscular build, excellent heat tolerance, and outstanding genetics, which make her a prized asset in cattle breeding.
The historic auction took place in the state of Minas Gerais, where Viatina-19 officially became the world’s most expensive cow. Her record-breaking price has earned her a place in the Guinness World Records as the highest-priced cow ever sold.
In addition to her financial value, Viatina-19 has also gained recognition in the livestock world. She won the prestigious title of Miss South America at the Champions of the World competition, highlighting her elite pedigree and exceptional physical traits.
This sale has set a new benchmark in the cattle industry, demonstrating the immense value placed on superior genetics and breeding potential.
