The American Breed is an American
American Bison blood. It was developed in the 1950s by a New Mexico rancher looking for beef cattle which could survive on poor fodder
in the arid Southwest.
It is one of the few cattle breeds with any known Bison influence, another being the
Brahman and Bison.[3] All individuals of this rare breed display the genetic marker for Bison ancestry.[2]
In 2007, its
breed society was established in 1976; in 2016, it was inactive.[4]
