[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1729414, member: 16303"] The Gyr does originate from India. There are several different strains of Bos Indicus animals in India and many of them are are in such low numbers that some are fearing extinctions. This has happened because of so much western genetics being used on them in India. The are also a lot of Gyr animals in South America. The Gyr, Guzarat are just two of the strains that I know of that are mainly dairy. In South America they have been crossed with the Holstein. We are working with two group on the registering of the Gyr and the other strains of the Bos Indicus animals. The other group is working on the presrvation of these breeds with the hopes to increase their numbers. The Gyr has seen increased use as a cross on dairy cattle here in the US of both Holstein and Jersey. [/QUOTE]
