Introduction
Mehsana Buffalo is one of the most popular dairy breeds in India, developed in Mehsana district, Gujarat. This hybrid breed is a cross between the Murrah and Surti buffaloes, combining the best traits of both. Known for its high milk yield, adaptability, and robustness, Mehsana buffalo is a preferred choice for dairy farmers.
At TabelaWala, we specialize in buying, selling, and providing loans for cattle, including Mehsana buffaloes, helping farmers maximize productivity and income.
