Save Indian breed of Cows - Why ?

June 2015: Recently A2 type milk was launched in California state by a New Zealand based company. For people who had not followed my previous post about A2 milk - its the type of milk which is given by Indian and African breed of cows and is suited for us whilst in India due to jersey and Holstein cows we are drinking a1 type of milk. Coming back to the current topic, it's about how the western world is replacing A1 Milk with A2 milk by breeding their cows with ours (Bos indicus). So its true we Indians are doing the complete opposite of that?

I was recently on a visit to rural areas of Maharashtra near Baramati a place called Saswad where I was able to talk to farmers who were supplementing their agricultural produce with animal husbandry especially milk. Most of them had Holstein and Jersey cows as they give up to 16-20 liters of milk which they sell to co-ops or direct to market.

But i noticed they also had Indian breed of cows ; i asked why do you keep these breeds I'm sure they give much less milk. They were surprised that i could tell the difference , what came next was an eye opener. He told me Indian cows give less milk but he and his family only drank their milk- its good for the stomach ( he doesn't know anything about amino acids but yes he is talking from experience). He went further saying that india bulls are much more hard working and suited to work in the fields this climate will kill Holstein breed of bulls. I noticed he had a tractor and all mechanized farming equipment are available via co-op organisation at a subsidized rate then why is he still using the bull ? .... Here comes the shocker .He told me he only uses the tractor to deep plow during change of produce for all other purposes bulls are best ; as they don't compact the soil and plants get a good rooting if he uses a tractor the soil gets compacted due to weight of the tractor and rooting is not that good.

I asked him about the beef ban next; he said its good now people are using their bulls again rather than giving it to slaughterhouses suddenly they are reminded of their older methods of farming its improving yields especially of vegetables and fruits. He said mechanized farming maybe good for grains corns or cash crops but vegetables etc need our older methods.

So what did we learn? We Indian urban city slickers are the only dumb asses who are still drinking inferior products by overpaying.
