what is ideal age for buying pashu or cow

Ideal purchase age for a dairy cow is three to five years, best in the second or third lactation. Avoid cows above seven years, because they are past peak. Before paying, milk her in your presence, do a CMT test on all four quarters, ask which month of lactation she is in, and check body condition and vaccination record. If the cow is above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you.
