A cow weighing nearly 1 ton, sold for 82 million VND at the largest cattle market in Nghe An

The cow is 2.15m tall, 3.5m long and weighs nearly 1 ton.

If you stand the cow's hump upright to measure, the cow is 2.5m tall. Because the cow's hump is so high, it is normally tilted to one side.

The cow's ears alone are too "huge", they hang down about 3 hand spans long (0.6m).

To control the cow to raise its neck, Mr. Nguyen Van Viet - the hired cow herder - has to stand on a large cart. Photo: Ngoc Phuong
