| Feeding of adults | Grazing Fodder and Concentrate |
| Comments on Management | Very little grazing is available for a limited period of two months, otherwise they are stall fed. Cattle depend mostly on the by-products of cereals, sorghum, millets, wheat, barley, chick peas etc. Concentrate such as oilcakes and crushed grains are given to bullocks only. Calves are not weaned. Male calves receive greater attention than female calves since the breed is basically reared for draught purpose. |
