Cattle

Madura cattle are a stable, inbred hybrid of Zebu and Banteng (Bos javanicus). They originated on the island of Madura near northeastern Java, where the original cattle population was Banteng, very similar to Bali cattle. Sinhala cattle, a Zebu breed from Sri Lanka, were introduced more than 1500 years ago, and the cross was found to be better than either of the original breeds. Some sources say the Zebu component was Ongole from India. The colouration is reddish brown with non-specific white patterning on the back and rump. They are a small breed, bulls having a mature weight of 250 to 300 kg, used for racing and are sometimes called dancing cattle.
