About Aliab Dinka CattleAbout Aliab Dinka Cattle



Aliab Dinka cattle, also known as Nilotic Sanga, represent a distinct variation of the Sanga cattle breed, specifically raised by the Aliab Dinka people of South Sudan. The Aliab Dinka people are a subgroup of the Dinka community and historically inhabited an area west of the upper White Nile River.

Characterized by their large bodies, long horns, and small cervico-thoracic humps, Aliab Dinka cattle typically exhibit coats in shades of white, grey, or light fawn.

The origin of the Sanga stock can be traced back to Ethiopia, with the Nilotic Sanga breed believed to have emerged from early migrations. They spread across south-western Ethiopia into Southern Sudan, adapting to local environmental conditions and evolving distinctive traits along the way.
