BORAN

 

Kenyan ranchers developed the Boran from the cattle of the Borana people of southern Ethiopia.

The breed was found in southern Ethiopia, northern Kenya and southwestern Somalia.

The Boran belongs to the East African Shorthorned Zebu type and is raised primarily for meat production.

The Boran is a medium-size Bos indicus breed that shows high resistance to heat, ticks, and eye diseases. It can endure scarcity of water and can live on low quality feed.

Borans are highly fertile and mature earlier than most other Bos indicus breeds, and are noted for their docility.

They are usually white or grey but are also found in red or pied. Bulls often displaying black points.

They were imported to Australia in 1990.
