You will agree with me that HF breed is from a country which had minimum temperature however after crossing it with local breeds we have got crosses which are now well acclimatized with the temperatures in India.
In Maharashtra we are getting good quality buffaloes from Punjab & Haryana; both the states are pleasant whereas Maharashtra is comparatively HOT.
Usually buffaloes are transported by Trains.

Sir, I agree that one can transport them between the above two mentioned places but what I meant was that would it be ok to transport them at this time of the year ? Oct - Mar is understandable as the temps in the 2 destinations are almost similar so we may not see much of a problem but in summers the heat stress might coz them to lose their original milking capacity .
And how would you recomend transporting cows from Maharashtra to Delhi .. Train or trucks ?? Also roughly whtas the price range that one can expect in that region , for eg - ho wuch would a cow with a yield of 25 ltrs cost ???
Cheers
