India-origin cow sets Guinness world record after being auctioned at a whopping Rs. 40 cr

A Nelore-bred cow named Viatina-19  has set a Guinness world record after fetching Rs. 40 crore at an auction in Brazil's Minas Gerais, media reports said.

The cow does not originate in India but has an Indian root owing to the massive contribution of the Indian breed Ongole in the creation of Nelore.

According to the media reports, the cow named Viatina-19 weighed 1,101 kilograms, which is twice the average weight of any other cow in the same breed.

Following the auction, Viatina-19 became the most expensive cow ever sold.

Besides its huge weight of 1,101 kilograms, Viatina-19 has achieved global recognition thanks to its exceptional genetics, muscular build, and heat tolerance.

As per reports, Viatina-19 has also won the title of “Miss South America” at the prestigious Champions of the World due to the cattle's exceptional muscle structure and rare genetic lineage.
