Category:Tswana Cattle

The Tswana (also known as Bechuana, Sechuana, and Setswana) are of the Sanga cattle type, similar to the Tuli and Barotse. These cattle were brought into the area by the Tswana people who settled in the Ngami region of Botswana early in the 19th century. The Tswana cattle eventually displaced practically all of the cattle native to the region.

Tswana cattle are generally red pied, black or black pied with long horns. In composition they are a well built breed showing good fleshing with moderately long legs. Mature females weight approximately 360 kg (800 pounds) and males 480 kg (1100 pounds).
