The world's smallest cattle: Tendai puppy cattle

Puppy cattle are very small, a type of cattle that is about the size of a dog. In fact, normal puppy cattle are a little larger than dogs, but much smaller than the average cow. This breed of cattle is more valuable and also difficult to raise, so the price of the meat sold is higher. Aug 20, 2024

The Smallest Cattle


Yellow cattle are a unique breed of cattle in China, and the Tiantai yellow cattle, commonly known as "puppy cattle", is a small strain of more than 50 yellow cattle breeds. In the country and the world, there are very few small breeds of cattle, but there are still so many of them in Tiantai, which is very rare. Tiantai puppy cattle have the unique advantages of small size, adaptability, good quality of meat and rich nutrition. These advantages are very obvious, which is exactly where the puppy cattle are precious and valuable.

 

Living habits of puppy cattle


Puppy cows are fetal, but each litter will produce very little. Some puppy cows only give birth to one in a litter, and more can give birth to three, so the breed is still relatively precious. The puppy cows themselves are not afraid of the cold, so they will generally live outdoors, even if they live in a barn in an outdoor open-air mode.

Puppy cows will live with their own mothers at birth, but when grown up they are free-ranged. The herdsmen take the puppy cattle to the grass and let them find their own food and move around on their own, which results in better quality meat on their bodies. The quality of the meat of the puppy cattle is very much related to the grass they eat, and if they eat hay, then it will have a great impact on the quality of the meat due to the hay.

Puppy cattle have now entered the market and have been developed into cooked beef. The meat is mostly flaky and rich in nutrients and some coarse fiber. The more you chew it in your mouth, the better it tastes, and it is a very good tonic. However, the meat of puppy cattle cannot be seen in the ordinary market and can only be purchased through herders or in a special way.
