Indu-Brasil

The Indu-Brasil or Indo-Brazilian is a Brazilian breed of zebuine beef cattle. It was bred in the early twentieth century in the Triângulo Mineiro in the western part of Minas Gerais state, and particularly in the area surrounding Uberaba. It was originally known as the Induberaba. It derives from imported Indian zebuine cattle, principally Gir and Kankrej (which in Brazil are known as Guzerá).: 219  It was formerly an important beef breed, but in the twenty-first century is an endangered breed.: 205  It is characterised by particularly large ears, perhaps the largest seen in any breed of cattle.: 205
