The Levantina is a breed of cattle native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in the countries of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. It is a dual-purpose breed, used both for beef and dairy production. Levantina cattle are characterized by their hardiness and adaptability to harsh climates and poor grazing conditions, making them well-suited to the semi-arid regions where they are found. They have a distinctive appearance, with a blue-gray or silver-gray coat, large horns, and a muscular build. On average, mature bulls weigh between 800 and 1000 kg (1760 to 2200 lbs.), while females weigh between 600 and 700 kg (1320 to 1540 lbs.). Milk production of Levantina cattle is relatively low, but the milk is of high quality and is used to make traditional dairy products such as cheese and yogurt.
