Abstract
CASE STUDY: At 75 years of age, Prem is one of the most respected members of the Kamadhenu Dairy Co-operative. She has 3 cows, and lives with one of her sons (she has two sons, one daughter, and six grand-children). For Prem, the biggest advantage of the co-operative was that her emigrant son was able to return from working overseas and join her in cattle farming. She told us that all her cows are pregnant, and so while their milk yield is down, she expects to recoup the loss in no time. Her eventual plan is to retire to a temple and leave her cows to support her family.
