Own a Cow With Us Posted by Kirti Jha on December 28, 2019 Vision: “Create goodwill and good business while making cows happy and ecology stronger.” SUMMARY: Total current capacity for free roaming cows across all food forests at various stages: 2000+ Plan to expand cows to 1000 in this phase, over next 1-3 years Existing number of cows: 53 Already committed new cows under this plan: 30 For Investment purpose: Investment per cow: Rs. 15000 (see details below in Financial Plan section) Expected and minimum revenue to Cow owner per quarter: See below in Owner’s Cash flows per cow section For Cow gifting purpose Since we get local cows from villages, from outsiders, we only accept selected Gir or Sahiwal cows. These cost around 70000 (for Sahiwal), and about 90000 (for Gir), including transportation. Housing facility, maintenance and ecology costs are not charged in case of Gifting. We are reversing the depressing outlook in Desi cow business, driven with help from our food forests work. In process, we keep non injected milk, free roaming cows, and enough grass for them. For revenue, we make A2 Ghee from half of milk, using traditional unheated Curd and Bilona or machine method (2 variants). The A2 Ghee is sold through local channels (Aranyaani Whatsapp), and through our Ecommerce website, across the country. The remaining half to quarter of the milk is left for calves, while they need it. ABOUT THIS PLAN: This is an offshoot of larger Aranyaani Food forests development plan. Aranyaani has established 20 Food forests where Cows can be readily integrated as ample food supply is available. Consumption of Excess Biomass is a process that needs different types of Animals; hence Aranyaani has experimented with Goats, Birds, Cows and Buffaloes, over last 12 years. This was done without commercial usage of products. Aranyaani, along with its affiliated land owners can now host upto 3000 cows in a sustainable and FREE ROAMING manner. We have ponds and water sources and tree shades for temperature control. And this number is increasing. Milk scarcity is increasing with decreasing forest cover. And that trend shall continue for foreseeable future. Hence contrary to the trend of Cows being less economical due to Old age and lower fat milk, in our case nature helps in reducing costs of cows and usage of cowdung also assisting food forests.
