Their coat colors come in three types: yellow, red, and straw white, with yellow being the most superior. They exhibit excellent performance in draft work, meat production, and adaptability. The hides of Nanyang Yellow Cattle are dense and soft, making them ideal raw material for leather production. Nanyang Yellow Cattle are mainly raised in the Tanghe and Baihe River basins of the Nanyang Basin. The state has established a Yellow Cattle Breeding Farm in Dengzhou City to research, improve, and develop the breed. Nanyang Yellow Cattle not only provide draft power for agricultural production but also supply a large amount of meat, hides, and other livestock products, as well as a number of quality breeding bulls.
