Recently, "Missy," a Holstein cow, sold for an astonishing 1.2 million dollars - or about 769 times the price of the average cow of the same type (about $1500). She produces 50% more milk than the average cow of the breed, and can bring in a few million dollars in contracts from selling embryos in the hopes that the offspring inherit the same capabilities.
