Abstract


This breed is found in large numbers in Karachi, Hydera- bad (Scind) and along the valley of the Indus. Scindhe is one of the purest and most distinct of Indian breeds of cattle. It is one of the best breeds of Dairy cattle in this country which can be obtained in fairly large numbers. In its own district Scindhe is a dual purpose animal. The cow is a good milker and the bullock, although not so swift or agile in his movements, as that of certain other beeds, is a steady worker. However it is as a milch herd that the breed is known outside Karachi and it should be developed as such. The purity of the breed is largely due to the iso- lated nature of the district in which the cattle have been bred for centuries.
