In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, having a Punganuru breed of cow is considered a status symbol. For, the cow is famous for the fat content in its milk. The fat content in its milk is said to be 8 per cent akin to buffalo’s milk. The milk also has rich medicinal properties.
Only the milk of this cow and ghee derived from its milk is being used as divine offering for Lord Balaji of Tirumala.
According to reports, the cow costs more than Rs. 1 lakh and it is available only in small numbers. There is no wonder this cow is the most sought-after by one and all.
