The Indo-Brazilian is a zebu type breed which was developed in Brazil from 1910-1930.
The breed was developed from Gir and Kankrej (Guzerat or Guzera) breeds with some
Ongole also used. By 1946 Indo-Brazilian cattle were being imported into the United
States and some sources site their contribution to the development of the Brahman.
The breed is white to dark grey in color. The Indo-Brazilian are generally taller
and lighter muscled than the Brahman. One of the notable feature of the breed are
its extremely large, pendulous ears. It probably has the largest ears of any of the
cattle breeds.
