The Kangeyam, the native cow breed of our Tamil Nadu, is known for its robust resilience, endurance, and easily adapted to the Indian environment. This breed has high physical strength and muscular build making it the ideal draught animal. These breeds are often seen in gray or white color and have dark horns. Moreover, this breed is preferred among the dairy farmers because of their high-fat and nutrient rich milk.
