. Studies have shown that wild
African buffalo
Although it can or may be domesticated and reproduce in captivity, it has not been domesticated. All domesticated buffalo in the world today are descendants of the genus Asiatic buffalo.
Based on grass, wheatgrass and soybeans
To trace the origin of the domestic buffalo, it is necessary to first look at the fossil data of the buffalo. Buffalo fossils are found in both northern and southern China, in China
north
There are seven different buffalo fossils in the strata since the Pleistocene, and in terms of age, there is the earliest short-horned buffalo. Subsequently, Bubalus teihardi (Young) was found in Zhoukoudian, where Peking Man was discovered. Its life time was close to that of Peking Man, and its characteristics were similar to those of modern buffalo. At roughly the same geological time,
Shanxi (Province)
The Bubalus tingi Bohlin (Bubalus tingi Bohlin) was found in the territory during the late Pleistocene
In stratum
Also found
Buffalo yangi
(Bubalus youngi,Chow et Hsu); Bubalus wansijocki Bouli was found at another site where Man was found. To the ruins of Yin ruins in Anyang during the historical period, the remains of a sacred buffalo (Bubalus mephistopheles) were found. Buffalo fossils have also been found in northeast China and Inner Mongolia.
United States 1930
From 1961 on Hayford, Shorthorn and
Brahman cattle
Crossbreeding resulted in the creation of a Beefmaster with 1/2 Brahman blood; From 1910 to 1940, he bred Sata Gertrud is, containing 3/8 Brahman blood, by crossing Brahman cattle with shorthorn cattle. Since 1936, Brahman cattle and
Charolais cattle
Cross bred into Chabray cattle, containing 1/8-3/8 Brahmin blood; with
Charolais cattle

Hayford cattle
Cross breeding with Brahmin cattle produced Charford cattle, containing 1/8 Brahmin cattle.

Hybridized to produce a Droughtmaster, containing 3/8-1/2 Brahman cattle blood; adopt
Hayford cattle
Cross with Brahman cattle to breed Braford, containing 3/8 Brahman cattle blood; adopt
Angus cattle
A cross with a Brahmin cow breeds Brangus, which contains 3/8 Brahmin cow blood. The breeding of these varieties brought them to the United States and Australia

The prosperity and development of the industry has also promoted the development of the beef cattle industry in the world.
Features: The center of the horn is unusually short, but very strong, and the horns are slanted backward. The center of the triangle is the widest and flatter at the top, slightly curved down near the tip, and the narrowest point in front is also flatter; Lower (compound) slightly convex, width is almost above; The angular center cross-section is approximately an isosceles triangle.
The skull is also very thick, and the occipital is not very prominent; The frontal bone was slightly raised between the two corners of the heart, but slightly concave down in the upper eye socket, and slightly contracted; The superior occipital bone is enlarged and slightly inclined. The moldering nest is narrow and constricted.
Origin and horizon: Chifeng Sanyanjing Commune; Middle Pleistocene Series.
The Henan buffalo, a genus of short-horned buffalo, may be the oldest fossil buffalo in China. In Sichuan
Wanxian County
Found buffalo
fossil
Identified as a short-horned buffalo. From the short-horned buffalo to the sacred buffalo, it can be concluded that the domestication of the buffalo is not necessarily unrelated to this region.
