In Berry Goshala there used to be an acute shortage of drinking water. All the ponds and the water sources would dry up. At that time there was no facility of tube wells for the lack of electricity in the villages.

 It was very difficult to get the cows to the well therefore Brahmchari Shri Jai Ram Ji decided to take the cows on the bank of river Yamuna where they could graze as well as drink water for two months all the cows of Berry Goshala were taken to Jakholi in Sonepat. Brahmchari Shri Jai Ram Ji himself would go see the cows. He used to give salary and food to the shepherds who looked after the cattle. He also saw the butchers taking the cows secretly into Uttar Pradesh from Haryana to the slaughter house.

 Shri Jai Ram Ji called a meeting of all Rajputs and Banias. It was decided that they will not allow the cows to be taken for slaughter. The police also helped in preventing this evil practice. Shri Jai Ram Brahmchari Ji setup a Goshala in Jakholi for the protection of cows.

Then the Chief Minister of Haryana Shri Bhajan Lal sanctioned a grant for building barracks for the cows. The Deputy Commissioner of Sonepat Shri Kanwar R. P. Singh (I.A.S) also gave his moral support to this project and sanctioned 60 Bighas of grass land in the name of Goshala. A tube well was also sunk for the benefit of the cows. The Gram Panchayat of Jakholi donated 22 acre land for the Goshala. The villagers of the adjoining villages contribute the fodder for the cows. Shri Brahm Swarup Ji is the president of the Jakholi Goshala also. At the moment there are about 400 cows.
