Farmers from neighbouring villages have brought their cattle to the cattle camp in Beed. They are at the camp since January this year. This calf was born in the camp. Villagers claim if it was not for the cattle camps, their cattle would be dead due to water and fodder scarcity.

ArjunChavan is a 70 years old farmer from Pendgaon in Beed district. He is at the cattle camp since January this year with his 4 cows, 2 oxen and 1 calf. The drought of 1972 wasn't this terrible. We had shortage of food grains but had plenty of water. We used to regularly receive ration from the government. But this time, there is neither water nor fodder. To top it all, ration supplies are irregular. On being asked, why he did not sell his cattle due to extreme drought, he said, Why will I sell my cattle? What will I do without cattle? A farmer cannot cultivate without cattle. Where will milk come from? Where will cow dung come from? Janwarhai to shetkarihai [If there is cattle, there is farmer].
