Milk record: Murrah buffalo wins tractor at Barnala fair

Sakshi, a murrah buffalo from Haryana, set a record by giving 22.3 kg milk at the three-day cattle fair in Barnala district, Punjab. The fair, held at Dhanaula, included a competition to extract maximum milk. The owner, Amit Dhanda, won a tractor for his buffalo’s achievement. Sakshi is the offspring of Sultan, a famous murrah bull from Kaithal. Dhanda, a junior engineer in the Haryana canal department, rears cattle and follows a scientific approach to animal husbandry.
