Holstein Cow

The price of a Holstein cow is between $900 and $3000. When Missy was sold for $1.2 million in 2009, she became the world's most expensive cow. Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy is an award-winning Holstein cow whose full name is Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy.

At the time of the sale, she was three years old. She'd already established herself to be a fantastic display cow, which is probably why she was so valuable. No one was shocked that she sold for such a large sum because she was easily the most valued cow at the time. The cow is capable of producing 50% more milk than a typical Holstein cow. Her premium price is due to her champion pedigree and exceptional genetic characteristics. The cow's owners gained the right to sell Missy's precious embryos when they purchased the young Holstein, despite the cow's high price.

Price: $1.2 million
