He addresses Manik Nivrati Yadav, a farmer from Hasegaonwadi village in Ausa taluka of Latur district, Maharashtra. Yadav's huge bull, named Raja, has a black head, while the rest of the body is white. This breed is called Deoni. But the minister is not interested in the animal. Our area is hilly, and animals provide traction in places where tractors can't even reach.
Raja is a prize bull.
He can pull as much as two average bulls and his mother used to give 15 litres of milk per day. Apart from the cash prizes he wins, a lot of farmers get their cows mated with him. I earn Rs 50 per service. He may look big but he's never hurt a soul. My little son, much too young to have a driver's licence, can handle Raja.
