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 was imported to Brazil in 1963 from India.[1] There are just ten semen samples of this animal in the world.[2] The last sale of this semen cost US$15,000.[2] Karvadi has millions of descendants throughout the world, many of which became Nelore champions in their own right.[1]
