Dhanamma Cattle Rearing

At 5-133 in Harijanawada, Jangam, you’ll find Dhanamma Cattle Rearing. This isn't a fancy office job. We spend our time with the cows and buffaloes every single day. It’s a family effort and everyone has their part to play. We focus on raising healthy cattle and making sure they are well cared for. The work starts early, usually when it’s still dark outside, because the animals don’t wait for anyone. We have to clean the sheds, prepare the fodder, and check on any calves that were recently born. It’s a lot of physical labor and your boots are never clean. We’ve lived in Jangam for a long time and the people in Harijanawada know us well. We don’t use any corporate talk or big promises. We just show the animals we have and if someone wants to buy or trade, we talk about it over tea. Sometimes the vet has to come out late at night, and those are long hours. Dealing with livestock means you are always on call. There’s no such thing as a weekend off here. We don’t have a sign that’s lit up with neon lights. It’s just our home and the space for the cattle. We take pride in the animals we raise, but we don't go around shouting about it. It’s just our life and how we make our way each day.
