Description
American Brahman cattle was the first breed of beef cattle developed in the United States in the early 1900s as a result of crossing four different Indian cattle breeds (Gyr, Gujarat, Nelore and Krishna Valley). The original American Brahman cattle originated from a nucleus of approximately 266 bulls and 22 females of several Bos indicus (cattle of India) types imported into the United States between 1854 and 1926.
A Brahman cow is an extremely good mother, offering protection and an abundance of milk for her calves. Brahman calves tend to measure high weights at weaning because of the outstanding milk given by Brahman cows. In some countries, especially in South America, Brahman cattle are used for both milk and beef production.
