The Nimari breed is native to Madhya Pradesh and is originated through the intermixture of the Gir and Khillari breeds. It derives its body frame and forehead shape from the Gir and its hardiness, temper and agility from the Khillar. They are generally well proportioned and compact in terms of appearance with a red colour with white patches/splashes though this differs depending on the strain for example the Khamgaon strain is black or light red and white. They are used primarily for draught purposes though some have shown to have decent milking capacity.
