Every cow is unique, yet all cows share the same gentle and loving nature. While breeds may differ in size, color, or milk type, their hearts are equally kind. Some cows may appear more energetic or cautious due to their environment, but none are naturally aggressive. At our Gaushala, we celebrate the beauty and innocence of every cow, regardless of breed.
