Mongolian cattle
Mongolian cattle is a Chinese indigenous cattle breed. The largest portion is located in Inner Mongolia. However, some exist in the northest, north, and northwest. Coat colors range from brindle or reddish brown but occasionally can also be seen in black, yellow, or pied. The cattle have two types: Ujumqin and Halhïn Gol. In 1949, Mongolian cattle began to be improved with crossbreeding to European breeds in limited numbers.
Mongolian cattle have been herded for centuries by nomads and are highly valued for their meat.
In 2008, 40,000 of the breed died due to harsh winter conditions.
