Berrenda cattle
 | This article needs more citations. (March 2026) |
The Berrenda is a type of cattle from the Spanish region of Andalusia. It is subdivided into two breeds; the Red Berrenda and the Black Berrenda. Both breeds are rustic and very well adapted to the environment. Both breeds were considered endangered as of 2022.[1]
The cattle are susceptible to Robertsonian translocation, which impacts their ability to reproduce. As a result farmers have been attempting to implement breeding strategies to address the chromosomal abnormality.[2]
