Anmol, a 1500-kilogram bull from Haryana has captivated audiences at the Pushkar Mela with its massive size and impressive valuation of Rs 23 crore. The bull has become a viral sensation and has made an appearance in other events like the All-India Farmers' Fair in Meerut.
Beyond the striking appearance and valuation, comparable to luxury cars and high-end real estate, the bull's semen also remains in high demand for breeding purposes, reported the Times of India.
The eight-year-old bull continues to captivate the public's attention, particularly at agricultural events such as the Pushkar Mela and the All-India Farmers' Fair in Meerut. The bull is originally from Sirsa whose massive size, impressive lineage, and high demand have made it a coveted animal in the agricultural world.
Anmol's diet costs Rs 1,500 a day on average and is rich in dry fruits and high-calorie foods. Anmol routine diet includes 250 grams of almonds, 4 kg of pomegranates, 30 bananas, 5 kg of milk, and 20 protein-packed eggs. Besides, oil cake, green fodder, desi ghee, soybeans, and corn are also fed to him as supplements.
The high-maintenance bull is bathed twice a day with a mixture of almond and mustard oil to maintain its health and sheen. Despite the hefty price for his upkeep, Anmol's owner, Gill has chosen not to sell the cattle.
Anmol's semen yields good revenue for his owner. Collected twice, the extraction is valued at Rs 250 and can be sold to breed up to 300 to 900 cattle. The lucrative venture brings a monthly income of Rs 4-5 lakh helping Gill offset the significant costs for the maintenance of the bull.
While Gill continues to receive offers at the Rs 23 crore mark, Gill said he has no plan to part with the prized animal whom he considers to be as close as a brother.
