Cattle breeds are broadly classified based on their agricultural utility into milch animals and draught animals. Milch animals (or dairy animals) are female cattle raised primarily for milk production, such as cows and buffaloes. Draught animals are strong male cattle used for heavy agricultural field labor, including ploughing, tilling, irrigation, and pulling carts for transportation. Both play vital roles in rural farm economics.
