Place of Origin India
Origin The breed is restricted to a small geographical area of Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh, India.
Purpose It is a draught breed and is mainly used for cart pulling.
Appearance The Ponwar is small and compact with frequent white markings on the forehead, dewlap and limbs. Black and white colour is often seen in the hill type of cattle and these features are also common in the Ponwar breed.
Horns The horns are inclined to be lyre-shaped, which may be due to some mixture of the nearby plains cattle.
Other Considerations The cattle of this breed are active and often fiery-tempered. They are observed to thrive well under free grazing conditions. The bullocks are good for draft purposes. They are quick movers. The animals of this breed are observed to mature late. The cows are poor milkers and are rarely milked even in the flush of their production.
