This breed is native to Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh found in the districts of Wardha, Nagpur and Chindwara.They are a dual purpose breed with good milk production and draught capabilities. Similarities between the Ongole and Gaolao is observed with the latter being lighter with marked agility. They appear to be white or light gray with an almost coffin shaped skull, large dewlap and a moderate size hump. What’s fascinating is that this breed was used by the Marathas for efficient (quick) army transport in the hilly regions of Gondwana.
