On the east side of Trivandrum Vellayani lake there is a farm. Among the various breeds of cows and bulls there, one particular bull attracted my attention. It looked similar to cows in Kerala of an early era. We used to have this kind of short cows in almost every farmer's house. In fact in our family too we had them. When I asked a farmhand, he said it is a bull of Vehoor breed, a diminishing species. I am no cattle expert and not sure if the claim was correct. Also, I can't say if the cows we had at our home were of Vechoor breed as that was long ago. Here is the picture.
