In December 2021, ANAFIBJ has pubblished the updated list of the Gold Medal Cows.
The awarding of the Gold Medal title is given to those cows which achive specific productive, genetic, morfologic and reproductive goals during their life.
There are 9 goals and Cows get a star for each of them: when a cow achieves 6 stars, she gets the Gold Medal title. If she achieved more goals, she gets an extra star each, for a maximum of 9 stars. The goals are:
| 1st star | At least 2 000 kg of components |
| 2nd star | At least 3 500 kg of components or 6 births in 10 years |
