Why Nelore Cows?
This ultra-exclusive cow breed is not expensive due to its looks. Because of its silky sheet-like skin, this breed of cows is naturally insect and heat-resistant.
This eliminates much of Brazilian farmers’ issues with the tropical hot climate and disease ridden cattle herds. Many mosquito-borne viruses such as Malaria can be transmitted through livestock as well.
When breeding livestock is your life, and that is the art you choose to pass onto your future generations to secure their lives, the price isn’t a question. Livestock is a farmer’s income source and life, so it is understandable why someone would want to invest in one.
Cows provide many benefits for humans, and farmers have a symbiotic relationship with their cattle. Cow fertilizer has shown to make soil richer than almost any other fertilization method. This breed is especially adaptive to harsher and hotter climates than most, ensuring a long, stable life.
Many farmers have fallen to the massive corporate farms being used to mass produce meat, but seeing farmers genuinely care about the cattle they get their meat from is refreshing. It shows that there is hope for the agricultural community out there.
Cows are also excellent livestock for cuddling! Some farmers have turned towards agrotourism to keep their farm going, and overworked, stressed-out people are loving it! Cow therapy in the form of cuddling and hugging cows has shown to release oxytocin chemicals and calm the body.
Maybe this farmer simply wanted a very expensive cuddle sesh with the cow! In all reality, the continuation of the Nelore breed in tropical countries with harsh climates near the equator is an excellent thing! Cows like the Nelore breed help ensure the future of both the agricultural communities and the populations depending on their production.
