A buffalo named Anmol has captured the nation’s attention, becoming the star attraction at agricultural fairs and earning a valuation of Rs 23 crore. Weighing 1,500 kg, Anmol is renowned for its extraordinary size, pedigree, and breeding potential, making appearances at prestigious events such as the Pushkar Mela and the All-India Farmers’ Fair in Meerut.

The Luxurious Life of Anmol 

Anmol’s owner, Gill, spares no expense in maintaining the buffalo’s health and impressive physique. The daily upkeep costs Rs 1,500, covering an extravagant diet that includes:

– 250 grams of almonds

– 30 bananas

– 4 kg of pomegranates

– 5 kg of milk

– 20 eggs

Additionally, Anmol is fed oil cake, green fodder, ghee, soybeans, and corn. This high-calorie, nutrient-rich diet ensures Anmol remains in top condition for exhibitions and breeding.

Anmol’s grooming routine is equally meticulous. The buffalo is bathed twice daily, and its coat is maintained with a special blend of almond and mustard oil, giving it a glossy and healthy appearance. Gill’s dedication to Anmol’s well-being is unwavering, even leading him to sell the buffalo’s mother and sister to sustain its care.

Anmol’s Breeding Potential

Anmol’s true value lies in its breeding potential. The buffalo’s semen, collected twice weekly, is highly sought after by breeders. At Rs 250 per extraction, the semen generates a steady monthly income of Rs 4-5 lakh. This lucrative breeding business offsets the high costs of maintaining Anmol while cementing its reputation as a prized possession in the cattle industry.

Despite offers to buy Anmol at its Rs 23 crore valuation, Gill considers the buffalo a family member and has no plans to sell it. “Anmol is not just an asset; it’s part of our family and heritage,” Gill says.
