Carora

Cattle

Carora cattle is a cattle breed developed from cross-breeding the Braunvieh with the Criollo. It is used primarily for milk production. Their selective breeding began in 1935 in the herd of the breed's founder, Don Ramón Herrera in the northwestern Venezuelan state of Lara. He crossed the Braunvieh with the Criollo breed Amarillo de Quebrada Arriba, stabilizing the breed at 3/4 to 7/8 Braunvieh inheritance. The main breeding objective was to achieve satisfactory milk production in the hot, low precipitation environment. The climate of the area where the Carora was developed is semi-arid with an annual average rainfall of about 700mm and an average temperature of 28C.
