Mr Singh believes the beast is worth much more. Its semen earns him 80 lakh to one crore a year, so Yuvraj the bull is really a cash cow.
Yuvraj, all of 6.5 feet and 1,600 kg, belongs to the high-yield "Murrah" breed. The animal can produce almost 5 ml of semen, which is diluted and sold at over Rs. 1,000 for 0.25 ml.
Besides good genes, it owes its form to a daily diet of 100 apples, 20 litres of milk, 15 kg of grain and dry fruits. A shot of liquor in winter is not unusual, says the owner.
Yuvraj also gets mustard oil massages twice a day and is taken out for a run daily. Its grooming includes complete hair removal four times a month. It is not surprising that it takes about 10 people to keep the animal in good shape.
"I spend Rs. 3000-3500 everyday on Yuvraj. Some persons offered me 7 crores for him but I refused. He is just like my son," the proud owner said.
Yuvraj was brought to Hyderabad by one Haribabu Yadav for what is called a 'Sadar' festival.
Mr Yadav says he spent Rs. 5 lakh on bringing Yuvraj all the way from Kurukshetra in Haryana to Hyderabad.
