A rural Cuban farmer once owned the most expensive cow in history.
On November 30, 1960, Rufina, a female cow was killed by a falling chunk of U.S. satellite in Cuba. This was during a time where tensions between Havana and Washington were at their highest. So the Cuban government decided to make the best out of a bad situation and had a good laugh at their American neighbors. A cow was paraded through the streets with a sign reading “Eisenhower, you murdered one of my sisters”. The American government awarded the Cuban government $2 million dollars compensation.
