Avoid Huge Losses: Essential Tips for Buying Cows and Buffaloes

• Buying milch animals is a significant investment; proper selection is crucial to avoid losses and ensure continuous income.
• Always check the animal's health: ensure it eats fodder properly and ruminates normally; avoid animals with watery eyes/nose or lethargy.
• Assess the animal's temperament by trying to milk it yourself; avoid animals that kick or are 'stubborn' and only allow one person to milk them.
• Prefer animals in their second or third lactation, as their milk quantity and temperament are well-established, unlike first-time calvers.
• After purchase, ensure proper care: feed fresh fodder three times a day and avoid stale food to maintain health and milk production.
