What is a "Brahman"?
Brahman is a breed of cattle that originated in the United States and is known for its adaptability to hot and humid climates. Brahman cattle are characterized by their distinctive hump over the shoulders, large drooping ears, and loose, thick skin that helps them withstand heat and insect bites. They are typically gray or light-colored with a distinctive hump and a prominent dewlap under their neck. Brahman cattle are known for their hardiness, resistance to diseases, and ability to thrive in challenging environments. They are used primarily in beef production, but are also utilized in crossbreeding programs to improve the heat tolerance and disease resistance of other cattle breeds. Brahman cattle are popular in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the United States, Australia, and South America.
