• Wenshan Cattle

The Wenshan is a variety of the Panjiang found in the Wenshan Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou province, China.

Because the Wenshan was described in early work, it has a long history in the established literature.

In the early 1980s, the Wenshan was used in crossbreeding experiments with Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus and Shorthorn.

Wenshan paternal lineages are effectively zebu; their maternal lineages contain both taurine and zebu. However another breed of this area, the Nujiang, receives almost equal influences from taurine and zebu.
