Encyclopedia > List of breeds of cattle

The following is a list of breeds of cattle. Over 800 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide, adapted both for local climate and for specialized uses. Unless indicated the breed is primarily of the Bos taurus type. Bos taurus cattle are the most common in cooler regions and many breeds are good dairy cattle. Bos indicus cattle, also called zebu, are common in hotter regions because of their heat tolerance and disease resistance. Taurus/indicus hybrids, including the Sanga cattle of Africa attempt to combine the best traits of both. Wherever near relatives of cattle live, there are breeds which are interspecies hybrids. Examples include the Dwarf Lulu cattle of the mountains of Nepal with yak blood,[1] the Beefalo of North America with bison genetics, the Selembu breed of India and Bhutan with gayal genetics. The Madura breed of Indonesia may have banteng in its parentage.[2] The Dzo of Nepal is an infertile cattle-yak crossing which is bred for agricultural work. Like the mule which is also infertile, they have to be continually bred from the parent species.

Cattle (often called cows in vernacular and contemporary usage, or kye as the Scots plural of cou) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae.
Cattle are ruminants, meaning that they have a digestive system that allows them to utilize otherwise undigestible foods by repeatedly regurgitating and rechewing them as "cud." The cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialized microorganisms that live in the rumen.
Cattle are often raised by allowing herds to graze on the grasses of large tracts of rangeland called ranches.
Cattle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2452 words)
Cattle (called cows in vernacular and contemporary usage, kine or kyne in pre-modern English, or kye as the Scots plural of cou) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae.
Cattle are ruminants, meaning that they have a unique digestive system that allows them to digest otherwise unpalatable foods by repeatedly regurgitating and rechewing them as "cud." The cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialized bacterial, protozoal and fungal microbes that live in the rumen.
This is incorrect, as cattle are mostly color-blind.
