Description
Maximiliano Spetter and eleven co-authors read the genes of Corriente cattle in New Mexico, in a research paper from 2026. This breed, descended from Criollo cattle, is raised for rodeo sports and beef in the American Southwest. Little was known about its genetic makeup.
The team tested ninety-seven cattle from two herds with a gene chip, keeping fifty-two for the final analysis. The results suggest these cattle form a somewhat distinct Criollo line. Some gene regions tied to movement, fertility, immune response, and meat and milk traits show signs of selection. The authors call the findings early and ask for wider sampling before firm claims can be made.
