For meat, choose Black Bengal, Barbari, or Sirohi cross. In Satara, Barbari and Sirohi are easier to manage and grow well in local conditions. Check that the goat is active, eating well, and has a straight back and clean nose. For fast meat gain, a young buck or healthy weaned kid is better than a weak adult. If you want, I can help you shortlist the best option within your budget.

For up to twenty thousand rupees, look for a healthy Barbari or local Osmanabadi doe in Satara. If you want better milk too, a young Beetal cross may fit, but check teeth, udder, and body condition carefully. Avoid weak, thin, or coughing goats. If you want, I can help you shortlist the best breed for meat, milk, or breeding.

For Maharashtra, Gir, Sahiwal, and HF cross cows are the safest dairy choices. Gir and Sahiwal handle heat well and give steady milk. HF cross gives higher milk if you can manage good feed and shade. If you want a cow to buy, first 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 age. For any cow above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet along.

Post-calving fever that has now settled is most likely a mild uterine infection or a short postpartum infection that has improved on its own. If she is eating well, walking normally, and there is no foul-smelling discharge, no udder swelling, and no mouth or foot sores, you can watch her closely for now. Keep her on clean water, good green fodder, and a balanced ration with mineral mixture. Check her temperature once daily for the next two days if you can. If fever comes back, milk drops, discharge turns bad-smelling, or she stops eating, then she needs a vet examination the same day. Consult a veterinarian before administering any medicine or treatment.

I will explain in simple English so it stays clear. For a nine month pregnant cow, give soft green fodder, good dry fodder, a little concentrate, mineral mixture, and plenty of clean water. Do not suddenly change feed now. Avoid moldy feed, too much grain, and very hard work. Keep her in a clean, dry place and watch for udder swelling, mucus discharge, restlessness, or reduced eating near calving.
