Sultan Bull costs Rs. 21 crores

Kota, May 26: You will be surprised to hear the cost of these bulls.A farmer offered to buy one of the bull Sultan for Rs.21 crores. The famous Murra breed bulls, known as Yuvraj, Sultan, become the center of attraction of the Global Rajasthan Agrotech Meet, which takes place between the 24th and 26th of this month in Haryana.

Like Yuvraj, Sultan, too, is a stud but it ejaculates more semen than Yuvraj and, therefore, makes its owner richer.

The two breeding bulls are the center of attraction at the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet at Kota where their owners are displaying them to motivate farmers to rear bulls to make money out of their semen and to improve breed quality.

At a cattle fair in Karnal, Haryana, last year, a farmer offered Rs 9 crore to buy Yuvraj but his owner, 51-year-old Karamveer Singh of Sunariyo village in Kurukshetra, refused to part with the bull.Recently

"I bought him for Rs 54,000 seven years ago; it has given me millions of rupees and there's an emotional connection, too. I cannot sell him for any price," he says.



Similarly, a cattle farmer from South Africa offered Rs.21 crore for Sultan but his owner, Naresh Beniwal, declined the offer.

Yuvraj weighs 1,500 kg and is 5 feet and 7 inches tall. He has been National Livestock Champion 24 times for his vital statistics. Sultan is 5 feet and 11 inches tall and has won the championship six times, the last being in 2013.

One ejaculate of these bulls is around 6 milliliter of semen from which 600 doses are prepared through scientific dilution. Each dose costs around Rs 250.

Yuvraj produces around 45,000 doses every year and Sultan, 54,000.

"We spend around 200,000 every year on their upkeep, health care, and vaccines," said Beniwal, a farmer from Kethal in Haryana. "The Bulls need a lot of milk and cattle feed and need to be bathed at least thrice a day to keep them healthy," he added.

The owners of these bulls have employed 4-5 people to look after their priced possessions. Yuvraj and Sultan, they add, are sought after for their semen by farmers who want a good breed of buffalo for dairy farming. This breed of buffaloes, Singh said, produce more than 20 liters of milk every day.
