This has and is being done in North America, South American, Australia, and Africa. There are also a large number of beef breeds that have been developed by crossbreeding other breeds with each other to get composites with better characteristics than their parent breeds. This is because there are a large number of beef breeds that have originated from Great Britain (or the UK, as some of you may call it), and just as many other beef breeds that have originated from other European countries like Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. There are four types of beef breeds to remember: Continentals, British-type, Composites, and Exotics. Most North American cattle producers have a criteria for differentiating the different types of beef breeds.Dairy breeds include Holstein-Friesian, Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss, Milking Shorthorn, Ayrshire, Dutch Belted, Canadienne, and Randall.Cattle that are dual-purpose breeds like Red Polls, Dexters and Devon cattle, to name just a few, may be put into the beef category, seeing as they are not specifically dairy cattle but have the looks of a typical beef animal. There are specifically two different types of breeds in the world: these are Dairy and Beef breeds. Such qualities as maternal qualities (e.g., milking ability, mothering ability and calving ease) and terminal/marketing traits (e.g., carcass characteristics and muscling) are mentioned. Often a brief history lesson and where the breed originates from is put into here, as well as the characteristics that make the breed what it is today.

This includes whether the breed can be horned or polled or both and the length and size of the horns (if any), the size of the head in comparison to the body, length of the face, and coarseness/fineness of the head.

Beef cattle tend to be more blocky and muscular than dairy cattle, with a seeming more rounded appearance, but at the same time not fat-looking (however there can be exceptions: see How to Judge Body Condition Scores in Cattle for more).

Remember that dairy cattle tend to be more angular- and thinner-looking with a more defined and larger udder (in cows only).

This section also tells you if the breed being referred to is dairy or beef or both.

This often includes hair type (short and sleek or long and shaggy), muscling tendencies and frame size in comparison with other similar breeds, length of leg and/or body in relation to body/leg size, and the average weight of both cows and bulls.

This will involve a description of not only the various colours that an animal of a certain breed can come in, but also the location of where most of these colours occur, whether it's varied, or in a certain location like the black or red points found on British White, American White Park and Ancient White Park cattle.
