Afrikaner
Afrikaner cattle developed from the
native Hottentot cattle of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Afrikaners are medium-sized cattle
with loose skin and large drooping ears. Bulls have the typical Zebu
hump. They vary from a light tan to a deep cherry red. The animals
have creamy white horns. The low maintenance Afrikaner is
heat-tolerant and well adapted to withstand harsh conditions.
Tick-resistance is quite adequate. They have a good temperament
and are easier to handle than most Brahman-derived breeds.
