Girolando Cow.

The Girolando is a breed of dairy cattle created in Brazil by crossing Gir cattle, a Bos indicus breed which is resistant to hot temperatures and tropical diseases, with Holstein cows, a Bos taurus breed.[1] Approximately 80% of the milk production in Brazil is produced from Girolando cows. A Girolando is 3/8 Gir and 5/8 Holstein.[2]
