Cattle are relativly new to the [domestic animal] scene, only showing up around 6,500 B.C. By this time dogs, pigs, and sheep had already been [domesticated]. Most modern cattle are descended from the species [auroch], and are used for their [meat] ('[beef]'), [milk], and [leather]. In common usage cattle are usually referred to as [cow|cows], although technically 'cow' refers to only the [female of the species]. The male is a [bull], and the young a [calf].

This is an incomplete list of cattle [breed]s, and it will be quite a while before they are all noded--I do not plan on doing all of it myself. Feel free to chip in.
