Sahiwal Bull

Sahiwal, a breed of  cattle, hails from the Sahiwal district of Pakistan, a dry region of Punjab which lies along the IndoPak border. This breed is reputed to be tick-resistant and exhibit high tolerance to heat. The cows are the heaviest milkers of all zebu breeds and average 2,270 kg. of milk during a lactation. As oxen the Sahiwal is generally docile and lethargic, making it more useful for slow work. Their color ranges from reddish brown to the more predominant red, with varying amounts of white on the neck, and the underline.
