Where do you put the most expensive bovine in Australia?

Last month, Wagyu heifer Sunnyside S0014 sold for $400,000 at Melbourne’s Elite Wagyu Sale — breaking all previous cow and bull sale records.
Her new owners have confirmed she’ll join their existing Wagyu herd in Mangalore, on the banks of the Goulburn River.
The 13-month-old unjoined polled female drew bids from all over the world due to her breed characteristics, but in the end she went to a Chinese-owned Victorian-based enterprise.
Her new owner, Yulong Invest, also runs the thoroughbred stud Yulong Farm in Mangalore.
This means the most expensive cow ever sold in Australia won’t have the honour of being the most expensive animal on her own farm, considering there are multi-million dollar horses over the fence.
