Red Sindhi
Also Known By: Malir (Baluchistan), Red Karachi, Sindhi
The Red Sindhi originated in the Pakistani state of Sind but due to its hardiness, heat
resistance and high milk yields they have spread into many parts of India and at least 33
countries in Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.
Under good management
conditions the Red Sindhi averages
over 1700 kg of milk after suckling
their calves but under optimum
conditions there have been milk
yields of over 3400 kg per
lactation.
The average height of a Red Sindhi cow is 116 cm with a body weight of 340 kg. Bulls
average 134 cm in height and a body weight of 420 kg. They are normally a deep, rich
red color but this can vary from a yellowish brown to dark brown. Males are darker than
females and when mature may be almost black on the extremities, such as the head, feet
and tail.
Red Sindhi in Australia
Red Sindhi cattle arrived in Australia in 1954 from Pakistan, as a gift to the Australian
Government. While traditionally considered a milking breed they have been successfully
used in crossing systems with British breeds to produce tropical beef types. In Australia,they have been an adaptable, hardy breed, good foragers and have a high degree of
resistance to heat and ticks.
JERSEY
The Jersey breed originated on the Island of Jersey, a small British island in the English Channel
off the coast of France. The Jersey is one of the
oldest dairy breeds, having been reported by
authorities as being purebred for nearly six
centuries.
The breed was known in England as early as
1771 and was regarded very favorably
because of its milk and butterfat production. At
that early date, the cattle of Jersey island were
commonly referred to as Alderney cattle although the cattle of this island were later referred to
only as Jerseys Jersey cattle were brought to the United States in the 1850's.
