Dairy

Beetal

B tier

Beetal goats from Punjab are large, often spotted or solid-coloured dairy animals whose milk has long supplied north Indian and Pakistani households. Yield can be strong for a tropical goat, with solid fat levels that set a firm curd for paneer and a creamy dahi. Taste is clean and slightly sweet when animals eat green fodder; stored or poorly cooled milk develops sharper notes quickly in heat. Street and home kitchens use Beetal milk for tea, kheer, and lassi bases. Commercial collection centres in Punjab still draw on Beetal and Beetal-cross herds. The breed remains a regional dairy pillar rather than a global supermarket name, but its milk quality is well known among South Asian dairy workers.
