It may be specially noted that, among the non-descript cattle and the buffaloes, those up to 3 years of age are considered to constitute the young stock, whereas the young stock among crossbred cattle is taken as those up to the age of 28 months. However, a cow or a buffalo under-aged as per definition but already calved will be treated as adult and not as young. The young stocks are further classified into males and females and their respective numbers will be recorded in columns (11) and (12).
