Beef cattle include which of the following groups?

• A. Beef cattle include Angus, Brahman, Brangus, Simmental, Charolais, Hereford, and Maine Anjou.
• B. Beef cattle include Holstein and Jersey.
• C. Beef cattle include chickens and turkeys.
• D. Beef cattle include salmon and tuna.

Answer: (A)

Beef cattle are cattle breeds that are raised primarily for meat production. The group listed includes well-known beef breeds such as Angus, Brahman, Brangus (a cross of Angu​s and Brahman), Simmental, Charolais, Hereford, and Maine Anjou. These breeds are selected for traits like muscle, growth rate, and carcass quality that favor beef production. Holstein and Jersey, on the other hand, are dairy breeds focused on milk production. Chickens and turkeys are poultry, not cattle, and salmon and tuna are fish. So the set that includes those beef-focused breeds best represents beef cattle.
