Nagauri

Nagauri refers to a breed of Indian cattle originating from the Nagaur district in Rajasthan. These cattle are well-known for their robust build, distinctive white coat, and prominent lyre-shaped horns. They are primarily raised as draught animals, valued for their strength and endurance in agricultural work, particularly in plowing and carting. Nagauri cattle are also known for their milking capabilities, though they are not specifically bred as dairy animals. The breed is adapted to the arid conditions of Rajasthan, making them hardy and relatively self-sufficient. Their temperament is generally docile, which aids in their use as working animals. The distinct physical characteristics and utility of the Nagauri breed have made them a significant part of the livestock population in their native region. Efforts are ongoing to conserve and promote this indigenous breed.
