Caracu
Caracu is a Brazilian dual purpose (beef and dairy) cattle breed.[1][2] Like the Mocho Nacional, the Caracu is a tropical European breed created in Brazil and its origin is of the race Minhota.[3] Its main use is as a cross to beef cattle. The Caracu accounts for less than 5% of Brazilian beef cattle; the Nelore breed is by far the predominant breed in Brazil.
