Retinta is a breed of cattle native to Spain. They are known for their distinctive appearance with their large, curved horns and speckled red and white markings on their coats. Retinta cattle are multi-purpose animals, used for both meat and dairy production. They are known for their strong and athletic build, making them well-suited for work in the fields, as well as for bullfighting. They have a docile temperament and are well adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of their native Spain, including heat, drought, and limited grazing resources.

They are a protected breed and efforts are being made to conserve their genetic diversity and traditional use.
