The person who bought the goat, Andrew Mosley said that the goat was really stylish and is in perfectly good health. The auction took place in the Cobar, a town in western New South Wales, Australia. 

Previously, a goat named Brock was auctioned for Rs 6.40 lakh and the owner was Mosley itself. Mosley has a goat farm and is very fond of it. He raises little lambs, cattle as well as goats. Mosley said that Marrakesh was expensive because their breed is rare. 

Marrakesh, the goat was raised near the Queensland border and there were only 17 goats of this breed during the sale in Cobar. Mosley said that the goat was in good health and might have a good fertility rate and that's why he bought it.
