Rare Cattle Species Sparks Interest in Haryana
Introduction to the Rare Cattle
Nuh | Rajesh Jindal, a resident of Nuh in Haryana, has recently acquired two rare cows that have become a topic of conversation in the local area. After seeing a Facebook post about a breed of cattle measuring between 1.5 to 2 feet tall, with a height of just 22 inches, he decided to investigate further. He discovered that even Prime Minister Modi had previously urged for the conservation of this unique Punganur breed.
Purchase of Cows for 6 Lakhs
Determined to bring home this breed, Jindal traveled to Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh with a companion and purchased the remarkable cattle from a cow shelter for 6 lakhs.

A Unique Case in the Region
Jindal claims that this is the first instance in the state of bringing in the rare Punganur breed. The cows are only 19 months old, and their popularity has surged to the extent that many notable figures, including Mahant Dheeraj Giri Maharaj from Rewari Gokulpura Dham and former state minister Kunwar Sanjay Singh, have visited to see them. Mahant Dheeraj Giri Maharaj has even requested to have more of this breed brought in.
Characteristics of the Punganur Breed
This breed is physically small but is on the brink of extinction. Its diminutive size and unique qualities have made it quite famous. Additionally, the urine and dung from these cows can be sold for a good profit.
