List of cattle breeds

Over 1000 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide, some of which adapted to the local climate, others which were bred
by humans for specialized uses.[1]

Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one
species. Bos indicus (or Bos taurus indicus) cattle, commonly called zebu, are adapted to hot climates and originated in the
tropical parts of the world such as India, Sub-saharan Africa, China, and Southeast Asia. Bos taurus (or Bos taurus
taurus), typically referred to as "taurine" cattle, are generally adapted to cooler climates and include almost all cattle breeds
originating from Europe, the Mediterranean region, and northern Asia. Both species were likely present since ancient times
in northern Africa and the Middle East, where both natural and human-caused hybridization likely occurred. Today,
Taurus/indicus hybrids are widely bred in many warmer regions, combining characteristics of both the ancestral types
(such as the Sanga cattle of Africa, or Brangus [a portmanteau of Brahma and Angus] in warmer regions of the United
States).

In some parts of the world further species of cattle are found (both as wild and domesticated animals), and some of these
are related so closely to taurine and indicus cattle that interspecies hybrids have been bred. Examples include the Dwarf
Lulu cattle of the mountains of Nepal with yak blood,[2] the Beefalo of North America with bison genes, the Selembu
breed of India and Bhutan with gayal genes. The Madura breed of Indonesia may have banteng in its parentage.[3] In
addition to these fertile hybrids, there are sterile hybrids such as the male Dzo of Nepal, a cattle-yak hybrid which is bred
for agricultural work - like the mule and the hinny, they have to be continually bred from both of the parent species.
