Most expensive Cow

Now some good news for our local dairy farmers and milkmen.But then they have  to hold  their breath for a minute if they look at the staggering price.Yes we are talking about Missy the Holstein  cow .Let us get to  know the  story of the priceless Missy and what made her so famous.
She is a  long,leggy and classy bovine.Her body frame has all smooth lines with voluptuous curves and all this makes her the winner of any beauty contests  she enters.
In short we could say she is the Cludia Schiffer of the milking parlour.Her name is Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy - she goes by Missy for short - and, as of last week, she is worth $1.2-million, gaining her entrance to a pantheon of million-dollar North American cows that contained only five Holsteins before her.That makes three-year-old cow the new gold standard in an industry where bovine genetics have attracted growing interest among farmers looking to better their herds and boost their profits. Missy is the Miss Canada and Miss America of Holsteins. She produces 50 per cent more milk than your average cow, a whopping 50 kilograms a day.Missy has a great mammary system and is just the ideal for maximum milk production.With magnificient genetics and flawless pedigree she is hence the ultimate eye candy for every dairy man.
During the Toronto's annual Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, a three-year-old dairy cow, bred in P.E.I. and previously owned by Alberta's Morsan Farms, was sold at auction for $1.2 million-setting the new world record for the Most expensive cow. The cow is being presently sold for embroyos and calves so that would greatly impact the world genetics  with Missy in the years to come.And in her ;life time she could have as many as  75 youngsters.
Though she has already been considered one of the top cows in the world, her thoroughbred-class price tag has cemented her as a glittering symbol of what's possible for dairy farmers, who have watched demand for merely excellent cattle slip with the world economy in the past year. For them, Missy is proof that elite cattle retain a cachet and profitability even in down times.So it is basically because of the genetically superior embroyos,high quality and  high yielding milk production Missy  rakes high on the moolah.
The most expensive cow was set by Missy during the Royal Agricultutal Winter Fair at Toronto,Canada on November 16,2009.
