HOW MUCH ARE ANKOLE COWS WORTH?
According to Sowetan Live, one Ankole cow can easily sell half a million rand.
Ankole cattle are known to produce lean meat, rich milk, and quality leather. Their large horns are also considered a hot commodity. The breed are known to be “hardy cattle” and can live up to 30 years, relying on limited food and water.
In 2004, Cyril Ramaphosa—then an astute businessman—bought 43 Ankole cattle from Uganda, but they had to be brought into South Africa via artificial insemination.
The embryos of the cows were implanted in surrogate cows.
In 2022, Ramaphosa sold one of his Ankole cows for over R2 million at an auction, reported TimesLive.
In his 2017 coffee table book, Cattle of the Ages, Cattle of the Ages, Ramaphosa described his fascination with the breed.
He said: “They each had long, white, beautiful horns glinting in the African sun, and I suddenly became fixated and couldn’t stop looking at them. I was intrigued and in awe and fell in love with these creatures immediately”.
