Beef cattle come in several types: Continental, British, and Exotic. Exotics and Continental cattle come from anywhere in the world except North America and the United Kingdom. Exotic cattle are classified as "unusual" in the sense of excess bumps and large ears like the Gyr cattle of India, or the long hair and/or horns of the Scottish Highland cattle of Scotland or the Texas Longhorn of the Americas. Basically the "exotics" are those that run against that standard beef cow that every producer traditionally raises on their farm or ranch: moderate to large size, polled or shorter horns, beefy and robust build, with relative solid colouring. Anything that goes against this paradigm is considered "exotic," but in no way should be not considered as a highly adequate beef animal in itself.

Some examples of breeds of the classifications include:

Continental:

  • Charolais
  • Simmental
  • Gelbvieh
  • Limousin
  • Maine Anjou
  • Chianina

British:

  • Angus
  • Red Angus
  • Hereford
  • Shorthorn
  • Red Poll
  • Galloway

Exotics:

  • Brahman
  • Texas Longhorn (though not "exotic" in any sense to North America, ironically)
  • Scottish Highland
  • Dexter
  • Miniature cattle breeds (Angus, Hereford, longhorn, Jersey, etc.)

Beef cattle are muscular--some may consider them as being "fatter"--than other cows like dairy cattle. They are more bulkier, blockier and more rounded than dairy cows are. They come in various sizes and colourations, from spotted to solid and just about anything in between. You will find beef cattle more often out on pasture or range than dairy cattle.
