Our ancestors once opined that if puppies are young, you may not tell which one is the best hunter. So you have to treat them equally with care. Afterwards, one will emerge the best. Exactly this is the same scenario with the bulls that we keep in our homes. We can’t tell which one can grow to be the best in the world. However, the environment can easily lead to variations in the growth rates. The types of breeds reared vary from one country and continent to another. This is why some countries are having different breeds from others.
When looking at the heaviest bull in the world, we have to go through the Guinness world book of records. According to this book, the first famous record-breaker was the porcelain bull Donneto. It died many years ago, however, people still remember its nickname. The bull weighed 1740 kg, and its growth reached 190 cm.
The current largest bull in the world after the death of Donneto, confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records, is a bull called Chile. Each year, Chile is gaining a hundred pounds, and therefore determine its final weight is not yet possible. Nevertheless, the last time the scales showed more than 1300 kg.
To determine the weight of a bull, it is necessary to measure the girth of the animal’s breast behind the shoulder blades, and also the oblique length of the trunk. This measurements are essential. They are used with some special tables of figures to come up with the weight of the bull.
Similarly, there are other methods that can be used to determine the weight of a bull. For instance, the Trukhanovsky and Kluver-Strauch method. You can also use a special tape.
However, it is important to note that heavy bulls are always expensive to buy. For instance there was a scenario where another world record was set by Schaff Angus Valley after a bull produced on the ranch named America was tagged to a selling price worth millions of money. It was a record setting of $1.51 million.
If this bull can cost this huge amount of money yet it’s not the heaviest and biggest bull in the world, then we can approximate that the cost of the heaviest bull in the World (Chile) is above $1.51 million.
