Lincoln Red cattle

Place of Origin Great Britain
Origin The Lincoln Red is an old breed of beef cattle, originating from Lincolnshire in eastern England. These cattle were imported into Australia over 100 years ago and the Lincoln Red Cattle Society (Aust) was formed in 1971 with one registered herd. They are now present in a number of countries around the world.
Purpose They were selectively bred from the indigenous draught (work) cattle of the region by crossing with the Durham type Shorthorn to produce a dual purpose breed. They are now exclusively a beef breed.
Appearance Lincoln Red cattle are a dark red in colour that reduces the likelihood of sunburn and cancer.
Horns They may be polled (hornless) or horned.
Other Considerations They are noted for their docility and an ability to thrive under all conditions.
