Bos (from Latin bōs: cow, ox, bull) is a genus of bovines, which includes, among others, wild and domestic cattle.. Bos is often divided into four subgenera: Bos, Bibos, Novibos, and Poephagus, but including these last three divisions within the genus Bos without including Bison is believed to be paraphyletic by many workers on the classification of the genus since the 1980s.
The Australian Charbray (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) is an Australian breed of cattle derived from a cross between the French Charolais cattle and American Brahman cattle.The charbray breed was first conceived in the United States of America in the 1930s and later introduced into Australia in 1969.

A group of taurine-type cattle exist in Africa; they either represent an independent domestication event or were the result of crossing taurines domesticated elsewhere with local aurochs, but they are genetically distinct; [83] some authors name them as a separate subspecies, Bos taurus africanus. [84]
The breed is defined by The American Beefalo Association as being genetically at least five-eighths Bos taurus and at most three-eighths Bison bison. [ 4 ] In 2024, a genetic study, including historical samples from Basolo's foundational herd, found that the majority of "Beefalo" cattle who were genomically sequenced (39 out of 47 sampled ...
Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...
They are sometimes identified as a subspecies with the scientific name Bos taurus africanus. [2] Their history of domestication and their origins in relation to taurine cattle , zebu cattle (indicine), and native African varieties of the ancestral aurochs are a matter of debate.
Hybrid Bos (primigenius) taurus/indicus The Droughtmaster is an Australian breed of beef cattle . It was developed from about 1915 in North Queensland by crossing zebuine cattle with cattle of British origin, principally the Beef Shorthorn .
The name "Bovidae" was given by the British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1821. [1] The word "Bovidae" is the combination of the prefix bov- (originating from Latin bos , "ox", through Late Latin bovinus ) and the suffix -idae .
