The Bos Species

Cattle were originally identified as three separate species:

​

I. Bos Taurus > The European or 'Taurine' Cattle

II. Bos Indicus > The Zebu

III. Bos Primigenius > The Aurochs (now extinct)

​

Bos Taurus Cattle were adapted to cooler climates whereas the Bos Indicus species suited a warmer climate. These have been reclassified as one species > Bos Taurus - with three subspecies:

​

I. Bos Taurus Primigenius

II. Bos Taurus Indicus

III. Bos Taurus Taurus

​

Our venue has been coined after this, with specific reference to the breeds associated with cooler climates - including our specialty - Black Angus Beef.
