Criollo Lechero Tropical is the Spanish name for the Tropical Dairy Criollo.

One goal in selection for creating this breed was for the cows to let down their milk without a calf at foot, which common Criollo cows will not do.

Criollo Lechero Tropical coat colors vary from a light dun to a dark red, often with black points.
