Oh we have so many different breeds of goats here. The number of Breeds noted for their milk production is small. Notable among them are Jamunapari, Beetal, Sirohi, Barbari, Malabari, Jhalwadi, Marwari, Osmanabadi, Mehsana and Jakhrana. There are so many other breeds mainly kept for meat and...

I had plans to add goats too. 2-6 goats would have been enough. My plans unfortunately were thrown off because of Covid19 and the terrible floods that we suffered this year.

They are animals of habit. Imagine the first person trying to milk an auroch or the Asian Wild Buffalo or Wild Goat. How did they do it? I bet they did it without a stanchion. I have never used stanchion, I have never seen it being used either. I don't think it will go well if I try to milk my...

You definitely should. Here's a chart that compares nutritional content of human, cow, buffalo, goat and sheep milk. These are numbers are not set in stone though, that's my experience. Nutritional content in milk changes with diet, breed, individual characteristics of the animal and the time...

The higher fat content in the buffalo milk negates the affects of lactose too.

Coming back to Water Buffaloes, it's worth mentioning that the contribution of Water Buffaloes in Global Milk Production is second only to cows. They contribute more to global milk production than goats. Buffalo milk is very healthy and flavourfull. I am not sure about how much other BYH...

We need to declare our religion in the census, but any institute who gets funds from the government cannot discriminate against any religion. Anyone who employs less than 50 individuals may choose employees or cater their services according to caste, religion, language, ethnicity or gender, but...

Eat the remaining two guineas and get a new batch of 15-20 guinea keets. Guineas perform best in a flock of 10 or more.

So I read what they have to say about the Water Buffaloes and it's generally pretty accurate and short. I am not so sure about the dog comparison. Buffaloes are not like dogs or cats, dogs look up to us, cats look down on us, buffaloes look eye to eye. They consider us one of themselves, they...

Another interesting stuff. Indipendence of India was not as clear cut as people may think. It was not like every British person left India after independence. Many British people, specially the older folks stayed and continued serving in the administration. Some of them stayed because they liked...

Iver Jennings remarked after reading the constitution that India will be a heaven for lawyers. Courts are really crowded and there's always backlogs. In India you cannot register as atheist. You have to register in one of the recognised religions. A person is assigned the religion and caste of...

We keep Buffaloes for milk. We also have another herd that are solely for sale. We buy dry buffaloes and weaned calves and then we prepare them and when they calves they are sold back.

Criminal law is same for all, Civil Law is different for each religion. Like penalty for a theft, a murder or robbery is same, but laws for inheritance, marriage, divorce, adoption is personal are different for every religion.

It does actually works, there are so many stuff going online here.

I forgot to mention the Nilgai. They are considered agricultural pests in India, but you cannot shoot them. We have to petition the authorities and they conduct a count and only if they conclude that the problem is serious they send hunters to shoot a certain amount of Nilgai. They are not...

Oh my!!! this is incredibly heartbreaking!!! Why didn't you say the poor dog!!!!

There's a buffalo calf in my Avatar, he cute as a button.

Why do you ask so? Buffaloes are farm animals. They say that "buffaloes are truly an animal of the farmers".

I honestly never imagined a redhead riding a buffalo. There's nothing wrong about that, that's just something you don't expect.

A lot of chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowl. Chickens are in hundreds. I also have 10 buffaloes. I am planning to get goats.
