Sheko is the only surviving taurine of the Abyssinian region, and is in danger ofextinction mainly due to interbreeding with neighboring Zebu breeds and scarcityof pure Sheko breeding bulls. This study was undertaken to study current statusof Sheko cattle breed and husbandry practices in southwes...
