Understanding cattle grazing personalities may foster sustainable rangelands
Not all cattle are the same when it comes to grazing. Some like to wander, while others prefer to stay close to water and rest areas.

Bos taurus, Bos indicus
Cattle (colloquially cows) are large domesticated ungulates. They are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, most commonly classified as Bos primigenius. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. In some countries, such as India, cattle are sacred. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion cattle in the world today. In 2009, cattle became the first livestock animal to have its genome mapped.
