Narimaster Cattle
The Beef Production Research Center Sibi (BPRC) is focused on improving the genetic potential of breeds for Beef production through cross breeding with well known beef cattle breeds of the world. The BPRC Sibi was established in 1969 followed the long term cross breeding program with Droughtmaster cattle breed to develop a native beef breed i.e. Narimaster breed in Pakistan. The Drought-master cattle was imported into Pakistan for having similar environmental conditions of Queensland, Australia and crossed with the Sibi bhagnari cattle breed is the heaviest drought breed of Pakistan which has its home tract in Sibi, Talli, Khajjak, Kachi, Dhadar, Bhag and Naseerabad territories of Pakistan. After F3 generation they obtained progeny was having 62.5% genetics of droughtmaster and 37.5% of Bhagnari cattle. This resultant progeny named as “Narimaster”. The baseline strength of 300 animals of this breed obtained almost two decades ago and is being maintained in farm at BPRC Sibi, the research carried out by Livestock Development Officer Dr.Mazhar Khan Khajjak.

= Breed Characteristics of Narimaster = The Narimaster has light red color. These animals are typically polled however horned animals can also be observed in the herd. It has wide frame and muscular body structure. The hump is moderate to small and dewlap is loose enough. Narimaster cattle are quite and docile in behavior. It has good foraging ability and can be managed on maintenance ration with moderate growth rate. Its beef cuts has fine blend of tenderness and juiciness. The average weight of Bull is 800 to 1000 kg and cow is 600 to 800 kg.

The average milk production is 1036 to 1250 Liters per Lactation.

The average Birth weight of Male is 26 to 28 Kg and Female23 to 25 kg.

The Average daily Weight gain of Male is 600 gm to 800 grams and Female 400 gm to 500 gm.

The Average weaning weight of Male is 140 to 150 kg and Female 120 to 130 kg.
