This breed is native to Gujarat and Rajasthan particularly from the southeast of the desert of Kutch. It is known as Wadhiar in Radhanpur getting its name from the community of herdsman known as “Wagadia”. They are known to be one of the heaviest indigenous breeds and are mainly used for draught purposes and even produce decent milk quantities. Skin colour ranges from gray to black although they may even be red to an extent. What’s particularly interesting is that they are resistant to attack from ticks and generally have low rates of contagious abortion and tuberculosis.
