Campbell Island Cattle, as you would expect, are from
Campbell Island. Campell Island is a subantarctic island that lies over 600
kilometers south of mainland New Zealand. They were first introduced to
Campbell Island for the sustenance of any shipwreck survivors who happened to
come ashore there.Although there is a report of “an attempt at agriculture which failed in 1856” the veracity of this is in doubt.

with the herds of native cattle. The Zebu type or Indian breed are well known
for their ability to survive in the tropics, adapted quickly to Brazil and soon
populated large areas, considerably improving Brazilian beef cattle breeding.
Compared to the European cattle breeds, the Zebu cattle were lower in growth
rate and meat production and it became clear that the beef cattle r

production. They are known for their hardiness, adaptability, and excellent
maternal ability. They are mainly used as a cross to beef cattle. They were
