Brahman
Cosmic eternal principle
Brahman is a breed of cattle developed in the United States from Indian zebu stock, recognizable by its distinctive hump, drooping ears, and loose skin.
Brahmans tolerate heat and insects well, making them popular in tropical and subtropical regions.
Brahman bulls are often crossed with European breeds to produce hardy beef cattle.
The breed name derives from the Hindu priestly caste. (Lowercase brahman refers to the Hindu philosophical concept of ultimate reality.)
