A South Korean dairy cow, donated to Nepal by Sunheung Ranch, has given birth to a calf, marking the first overseas birth of a Korean cow. The cow, named 'Tosil', was impregnated through artificial insemination and the calf, 'Gamsa', will be raised and then delivered to other impoverished farms. This is part of the 'Send 101 Dairy Cows to Nepal' project by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), which aims to boost Nepal's dairy farming sector, accounting for 9% of the country's GDP, but with milk production only one-third of that in Korea.
