I want a milking cow for my dairy.

For a dairy cow, choose Sahiwal, Gir, HF cross, or Jersey cross. If your area is hot, Sahiwal or Gir is safer. If you want higher milk and can manage better feed, HF cross is strong. Before paying, milk the cow in your presence, do a CMT test on all four quarters, and ask which month of lactation she is in. If you want fifteen liters or more every day, remember one cow gives peak milk only in months two to three, so two cows with staggered calvings are better for steady supply. For any cow above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you.
