Sheko

Cattle

Sheko cattle (also called Mitzan or Goda) are short horned, humpless cattle, which were first reported in 1929 and later in 1982 in the Shewa Ghimira of the former Kefa region of Ethiopia adjacent to the Sudanese boarder. The Sheko are believed to be the last remnants of the original Humpless Shorthorn (Bos taurus) cattle in eastern Africa. They are the only indigenous humpless cattle found in Eastern Africa. ref: agtr.ilri.org
