The study was undertaken to record the production performance of 50 Kathani cattle in Mul tahsil of Chandrapur district. The cows were mostly found with bowl shaped udder, cylindrical shaped teats and small size of milk vein. The lactational milk yield of Kathani cows was found to be 658.26 ± 4.95 kg, average lactation period was of 229.72 ± 0.90 days and average milk yield per day was 2.862 ± 0.025 kg. The milk production performance of Kathani cattle is fair, hence, it can be considered as the draught breed of cattle and by adopting better management and nutrition practices its production can be increased.
