Erling Haaland is one of the most exciting young footballers in the world. The Norwegian striker is known for his blistering pace, powerful shot, and clinical finishing. But there’s another side to Haaland that many people don’t know about: he’s a bit of a cattle connoisseur.
In 2022, Haaland purchased a rare black Angus cow for a staggering $5.71 million. The cow, named “Black Beauty,” was born in Norway and is considered to be one of the finest specimens of its breed. Haaland had Black Beauty flown to his home in England, where she is now being raised in a luxurious barn.
The barn is specially designed to meet Black Beauty’s needs. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art ventilation system, a comfortable bed, and a personal massage therapist. Black Beauty also has her own personal chef, who prepares her daily meals of meat and beer.
Haaland takes great care of Black Beauty. He visits her every day to check on her health and well-being. He also takes her for walks in the countryside.
“Black Beauty is a special cow,” Haaland said in an interview. “She’s a part of my family. I want to give her the best possible care.”
Haaland’s love of cattle is not just a hobby. It is also a business venture. He has partnered with a Norwegian company to develop a line of beef products called “Haaland’s Black Angus.” The products are made from meat from Black Beauty and other black Angus cows.
“I want to share my love of black Angus beef with the world,” Haaland said. “I believe it is the best beef in the world.”
Haaland’s passion for cattle is just one of the many things that makes him such a unique and fascinating figure. He is a talented footballer, a successful businessman, and a loving pet owner.
