BEEF

    For much of the world, for much of its history, cattle, in all the wonderful types and breeds there are, have provided meat, milk, hides, tallow, labor, transport, and more. Beef cattle Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, says, “Beef cattle are bovine cattle (cows, see Bos taurus) raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle). The meat of cattle is known as beef. While the principal use of beef cattle is meat production, other uses include leather, and products used in shampoo and cosmetics. The plural beeves, when referring to such meat-animals (of either sex), is well known in the American cattle industry, but is often restricted to steers. Beef breeds include Hereford, Angus, Brahman, Santa Gertrudis, Charolais, Limousin, Boran, Afrikaner, Beef Shorthorn, Red Poll, Brangus, Beefmaster, Nelore, Chianina, Wagyu. Breeds known as dual purpose breeds are also used for beef production. These breeds have been selected for two purposes at once, such as for both beef and dairy production. Dual Purpose breeds include the Brown Swiss and many of the Zebu breeds of India such as Tharparkar and Ongole.
