Californian cattle rancher D.C. “Bud” Basolo developed the Beefalo breed in the 1970s. He did not reveal the precise pedigree of the breed. [4] The breed is defined by The American Beefalo Association as being genetically at least five-eighths Bos taurus and at most three-eighths Bison bison. [4]
The yakalo is a cross of the yak (Bos grunniens) and the American bison (Bison bison, known as a buffalo in North America).It was produced by hybridisation experiments in the 1920s, when crosses were made between yak bulls and both pure bison cows and bison–cattle hybrid cows. [1]
Żubroń are hybrids of domestic cattle and wisents.. A bovid hybrid is the hybrid offspring of members of two different species of the bovid family. There are 143 extant species of bovid, and the widespread domestication of several species has led to an interest in hybridisation for the purpose of encouraging traits useful to humans, and to preserve declining populations.
Dzo, zo or yakow; a cross between a domestic cow/bull and a yak. Beefalo, a cross of an American bison and a domestic cow. This is a fertile breed; this, along with mitochondrial DNA evidence, [11] has led bison to occasionally be classified in the genus Bos. Zubron, a hybrid between wisent (European bison) and domestic cow.

Using this bovine "HapMap", researchers can track the differences between breeds that affect meat and milk yields. [65] Early research focused on Hereford genetic sequences; a wider study mapped a further 4.2% of the cattle genome. [63] Behavioral traits of cattle can be as heritable as some production traits, and often, the two can be related ...
Trinidadian buffalo (sometimes called Trinidadian bison or hog cattle) Trinidad and Tobago: specialized for meat and haulage: derives from crosses between the swamp-type § Carabao and river-type breeds (such as the § Murrah, the § Nili-Ravi, the § Jafarabadi, the § Surti, § Nagpuri, and the § Bhadawari);
This is a list of some of the cattle breeds considered in the United States to be wholly or partly of American origin. Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively American.
