The Ramachandrapura mutt has committed itself to the noble mission of saving, caring and propagating native Indian breeds of cattle. It is a matter of great concern that many of these rare breeds like Malnad Gidda, Ongole, Gir, Javari, Rati, Sahival, Krishnavalley, Vechur, Khilari, Amrithamahal, Kankrej, Hallikar, Dangi etc., are on the verge of extinction. These cows are procured from different parts of the country and reared in the sylvan atmosphere of Hosanagara and other Goshalas set up by Shree Math. ‘Amruthadhara’, the unique cattle shed at Hosanagara, houses the largest variety of native breed cattle in the country and is a true Gokula of modern times.
