Cattle breeds
Cattle breeds refer to specific varieties of domestic cattle that have been selectively bred by humans for desired traits such as milk production, meat quality, or adaptability to certain climates. Different cattle breeds are distinguished by their physical characteristics, such as size, color, horn shape, and body conformation. Each breed has its own unique history, origin, and purpose, whether it be for dairy farming, beef production, or as draft animals. Some well-known cattle breeds include Angus, Holstein, Hereford, and Brahman.
