The Lohani cattle, also known as Acchai cattle, gets its name from the Loralai district of Balochistan. Found throughout Pakistan and India, they belong to the zebu breed of cattle commonly found in the hilly regions of the two countries. Initially used for work, the breed now serves for milking purposes.
These draft cattle are smaller than most, with a bull weighing on average between 300-350 kg. Their coats are red with white spots, and they feature a narrow face, small ears, big eyes, a slightly concave forehead with white markings, and long vertical horns measuring 12 to 18 inches.
Originating from Loralai, Pakistan, Lohani cattle are built to withstand the uneven hills of the region, which are typically 3000 to 10,000 feet tall, with their short and relatively long legs. Many can now be found in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, where they are known as Acchai cattle.
