1. Draught breeds : They are exclusively meant for pulling carts and ploughing fields. They are well-built. The bulls are used for draught works. The cows are poor milkers. Important examples are Amrithamahal, Kangayam, Malvi, and Hallikar.

2. Dual purpose breeds : They are meant for both milk yield and draught works. The cows are fairly good milkers and the bullocks are sturdy and are useful in draught works like ploughing the field, transport and cart pulling. Hariana and Ongole are some good examples.

3. Dairy breeds : The cows of this group are high milk yielders with extended lactation periods. The bullocks are of poor draught qualities. These cattle are well built with strong limbs. Some examples are Deoni, Gir, Sindhi and Sahiwal.
