I have started keeping cows for meat. But I wanted to know the best breeds for my farming
Which breed are you keeping now?. Otherwise if you don't want exotic breeds the Boran cattle is the best for you. Very hardy and can attain weaning weight of Upto 200kg in 8 months and 400kgs within 30 months.
