In India, a person can expect to pay between 35,000 and 40,000 Rupees for a Holstein cow. The price you pay will be determined by the heritage of the animal, usual milk output, and other factors.
The Holstein breed originated from the Netherlands.
On June 4th 1920, Gustuv Pabst of Dousman, Wisconsin paid $30,000 for Holstein cow at the Minnesota-Friesian sale. The holstein cow was pruchased from Fred Pabst of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The previous record was $18,400. More recently a Holstein named Allendairy Glamorous Ivy was the very first holstein to sell for over one million dollars.
Holstein Friesian cows typically consume more feed than Jersey cows due to their larger size and higher milk production demands. On average, a Holstein may eat around 50-60 pounds of dry matter per day, while a Jersey, being smaller, usually consumes about 30-40 pounds. The difference in feed intake reflects their respective sizes and nutritional needs for optimal milk yield.
It all depends on what stage of life you buy it. There are stages in the life of a holstein. Usually the price on a heifer is close to $100 and the price for an older cow would be around $50. It depends on whether you are looking for meat or a milker.
