In almost every typical south Indian villages, people own cattle and its common all over the village, here's how ..
A farmer grows his crops and once the crop is harvested, the husk, remains of the crop is fed to the cattle, cattle provides a farmer with milk, meat, dung ( firewood substitute to cook) and most importantly Manure. Manure or decomposed excreta of cattle is again used in soil to enrich its nutrients for the next crop.
It works in a cycle, hence its one of the most essential part of a village lifestyle .
