Gul Panag Instagram – Spent the morning with these gentle creatures at our family dairy farm @savera_godhan_agri_farm 🐄🐮. Growing up as a kid at Tittar Lodge, our grand father Col Shamsher Singh’s farm, a lot of my time was spent with the cows and buffaloes we kept. I would accompany my grandparents as they milked the cows and eventually learn to milk them too. I was exactly Nihal’s age in fact when I lived here with them. When ever there was a new calf, it would become my play mate. By the time I was 6, I was given charge of my very own calf, Laddu( named by me💁🏻‍♀️). I had to feed her and clean her stall with my very own small phauda( a wooden shovel for shovelling cow dung – which would find its way, via a wheelbarrow, into our gobar gas plant ). A great part of the farm life was spending time with my cousins @simritkaur34 @simranpotnis , @vikramjitpanag and @vortex.generator who although older, always included me in their activities. All of us would do farm things together, take care of the animals, help at the farm and even get down and dirty doing kaddu before sowing paddy. Some years later when our grandparents stopped keeping the animals, something seemed missing. So I was beyond delighted when my cousin Vikram( last photo) set up this dairy farm. The majority of the cows we have here are the Sahiwal breed with a few Gir and Rathi. These are the cows of the old Indian era and are said to have come out during the samundar manthan and were given to the sages or rishis. They are the present Indian breed and are made for this weather. The milk from these cows is the A2 quality milk which is the best in terms of health . The old folks call it ” sau marz ki ek dawa”. Very good for children, pregnant women and old folks, it has the least uric acid and very light and easy to digest. The cows give only 8-15 ltr milk per day and require care and love. But the milk is pure.❤️ If you live in the Tricity area, and would like to try, please do reach out to @savera_godhan_agri_farm . #desicow #puremilk Mahadian ਮਹੱਦੀਆਂ
