Karvardi

Karvadi (1952–1972[1]) was a nelore cattle bull. While still alive, it became famous as the champion bull of nelore in all the world. It came to Brazil in 1963 and was imported from India.[1] There's just ten semen samples of this animal, in the world.[2] The last sell of this semen costs US$15,000 each one.[2] Karvadi has millions of descendants throughout the world. Many of these descendants became nelore champions in their own right.[1]
