Explore Our Sanctuary

At Sri Bilva Goshale, our cows graze freely on natural grass, leaves, and medicinal herbs in the lush Coorg forest. The humps on their backs absorb sunlight, converting it into Vitamin D and other minerals, which enrich their milk. This natural grazing not only ensures the well-being of our cows but also enhances the quality of the milk they produce.
