Creole
(most common name)
(transboundary/brand name)

The Creole, a locally adapted Criollo cattle variety with some zebu blood, is raised for meat.

NOTE: When the term créole is used for livestock, it indicates native, but not aboriginal (existing before the arrival of colonists).

(French) Créole = nursling
(Spanish, contraction of ‘criadillo’) Criollo = a little nursling
