Hello I would like to get advised on which dairy can do better on such climate since I'm thinking of venturing in daily farming?

Can confidently respond by saying that dairy breeds perfom well naturally in highland regions. However in areas with hot temp. You have to artificially provide micro-climate i.e by roofing the dairy unit with materials that can insulate against hot weather. Depending on capital outlay, all the four dairy breeds can do anywhere. Remember dairy cow is just but like machine to process the available feed into milk. Bottom line is without feed no dairying. Guarantee feed and you will ba up and running. https://www.mkulima.co/threads/the-link-between-feeding-and-milk-production.1640/
