The Chinese Black and White [2] or Chinese Black Pied is a Chinese breed of dairy cattle.It derives from cross-breeding with local cows of black-and-white dairy cattle of various breeds imported since the 1870s from Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species. Bos indicus (or Bos taurus indicus ) cattle, commonly called zebu, are adapted to hot climates and originated in the tropical parts of the world such as India, Sub-saharan Africa, China, and Southeast Asia.
[1]: 48 [2]: xxii, 127 A similar colour pattern is seen in the domestic yak [1]: 48 and in some zebuine cattle. [ 3 ] An extreme pale form of the colour-sided pattern is the colour-pointed or 'white park' pattern, seen for example in the White Park , the British White and in some Irish Moiled , where the darker colour is restricted to the ears ...

Like all bovid species, they can have horns, which are unbranched and are not shed annually. [5] Coloration varies with breed; common colors are black, white, and red/brown, and some breeds are spotted or have mixed colors ...
They were once multi-coloured, but modern selection has favoured predominantly black or black and white cattle. [ 4 ] Alexander Fenton, [ 5 ] citing Forsyth [ 6 ] and Shirreff [ 7 ] gives an estimate of just over 40,000 head of cattle in 1808 and less than half of that, circa 15,000 in 1814 due to the expansion in the human population.
