Small gai
For a small dairy cow, Jersey cross or HF cross is usually the best fit. They give good milk in a smaller body and manage feed better than a big exotic cow. If you want a hardy Indian option, Sahiwal is also very good. Before paying, milk her in your presence, do a CMT test on all four quarters, check which month of lactation she is in, and verify age and body condition. If the price is above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet along.
