With this value, the final projection of the specimen is 21 million reais, more than 4 million dollars . The buyer was Nelore HRO, from Arandu (SP), who happened to be a partner of Casa Branca Agropastoril and Agropecuária Napemo, each of which owned 50% of the animal.

Already in May 2022, Viatina-19 FIV Mara Móveis had begun to mark her path of transcendence, when Napemo, her owner , decided to sell 50% of his property for almost 4 million reais to Casa Branca Agropastoril. On that occasion, it was also a record for the breed.

It was already proven that Viatina-19 was an animal distinguished by its biotype and racial beauty.

“It is a fantastic feeling to fulfil our commitment to share Viatina-19 genetics with HRO, a livestock project with a fantastic history,” said Fabiana Marques Borrelli, director of Casa Branca Agropastoril.

The hut where the animal was born is located in Nova Iguaçu de Goiás, in the north of that state. Its owner, Silvestre Coelho Filho, said that shortly after the cow was born “it was already possible to prove that Viatina-19 was an animal distinguished by its biotype and racial beauty.” In that sense, “at only 8 months old, Viatina-19 already won its first prize at Expoinel Goiás, which indicates the success it would have,” said Coelho.
