how to buy a cow

Buy a dairy cow only after checking milk in your presence. First, milk her yourself and see the output from each quarter. Then do a CMT test on all four quarters, because a hidden mastitis cow will lose milk fast. Ask which month of lactation she is in, because a cow in month seven or eight will soon drop yield. Prefer a healthy Sahiwal, Gir, HF cross, or Jersey cross for milk. Avoid any cow above seven years, and check body condition, last calving date, and vaccination record. If the price is above ₹50,000, take a Pashumitra or vet with you before paying. If you want, I can help you shortlist the right cow for your budget and milk target.
