Nagori

Nagori cattle are a north Indian draught breed from Nagaur district in Rajasthan, bred in a hot, dry region where speed, endurance, and sound legs were highly valued. They are zebu-type cattle with a hump, usually white or light grey, with long legs, a relatively compact body, and an active gait. Nagori bullocks have been known as fast road and field animals for carting, ploughing, and transport, while cows are generally modest milk producers. The breed's identity is tied more to work ability than to dairy yield or heavy beef production.

Where Nagori cattle are still used for work, management centers on conditioning, hoof care, and recovery from heat and harness pressure. Working bullocks need reliable water, shade between tasks, and enough energy in the ration during busy agricultural seasons. For breeding, sound feet, straight legs, good temperament, and the ability to move freely are more important than size alone. Mechanization has reduced demand for draught cattle in many areas, so maintaining true Nagori lines often depends on local breeders, livestock fairs, and conservation interest in Rajasthan's indigenous cattle.
