The farm is located 55 km from the state capital, with a total area of 70.74 hectares. Under the natural breeding program of the ULDB started since 2002 the farm has contributed a good no. of  cow bulls of Red Sindhi & Jersey X Sindhi crosses to the farmers of Uttarakhand. Over the years the farm has managed to maintain a pure breed herd of Red Sindhi with the above objective in mind. From time to time new bulls have been introduced to avoid in breeding as also through the use of frozen Red Sindhi semen doses produced from SAJ, Bidaj.
