Boran Cattle

Boran cattle were developed from the native shorthorned Zebu cattle of the Borana Oromo people of southern Ethiopia.They are usually white or fawn,with the bulls being darker with black point.Their great similarity to the American Brahman cattle is not without basis, they are also descended from cattle from the western coast of India, only much earlier. Since 1951, the Boran Cattle Breeders’ Society has been managing and strategically breeding Boran cattle in South Africa, Kenya and other parts of Africa As of 2008.
