Efforts are being made to maintain pure Criollo Limonero genetics from becoming adulterated by mainstream dairy breeds; genetic tests have shown the breed possesses the CSN3 gene, suggesting that these cattle may be well equipped for high milk and cheese production given a genetic breeding improvement plan.

The Spanish name Llanero translates as "horse of the plains". [1] The DAD-IS database and the University of Oklahoma Encyclopedia (2007) [1] refer to the breed as Llanero (without diacritical mark), while CAB International, [2] the Delachaux guide [3] and researchers from the teams of E. G. Cothran [4] and J. L Canelón [5] refer to it as "Venezuelan Criollo".
Heck cattle originated in the 1920s as an attempt by Lutz and Heinz Heck to breed an aurochs look-alike from several cattle breeds. Heck cattle turned out to be a hardy breed, but are found to be considerably different from the aurochs in several aspects. [3] The Tauros Programme is one of several breeding back attempts. This is based on the ...
Polled strains have been developed of many cattle breeds which were originally horned. This has usually been done by crossing with naturally polled breeds, most commonly Angus and Galloway cattle. For example, polled Jersey cattle originated in Ohio sometime prior to 1895. Two strains were developed, the first to appear being founded by crosses ...
Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species. Bos indicus (or Bos taurus indicus ) cattle, commonly called zebu, are adapted to hot climates and originated in the tropical parts of the world such as India, Sub-saharan Africa, China, and Southeast Asia.
