Surti

B tier

Surti buffalo from the Surat region of Gujarat are medium-sized, sickle-horned dairy animals known for rich milk rather than extreme yield volume. They thrive in humid coastal-influenced climates of western India. Meat from Surti culls and males is moderate in size and lean—good for home-scale curries and slow pots. The breed’s finer bone relative to giant types can improve meat-to-bone ratios on younger carcasses.
