Dear Sir

Sahiwal
Habitat :- This is a medium heavy type of dual-purpose breed found in Rohtak, Karnal, Hissar, Gurgaon district of Haryana, and the Union Territory of Delhi and in West Uttar Pradesh.

Characteristics of breed :-
The cows are fairly good milkers. These animals have small heads with long, narrow faces from which emerge short and somewhat horizontal horns, which grow longer and curve upwards and inwards in bullocks. The barrel is long compact. Legs are sturdy and long with well-shaped hoofs. The tail is thin and short. In cows the udder is well developed with prominent teats. These cattle are generally white or light grey. It is known as the best milking cows in Punjab. The cross-breed is a rare case of success.
