Nguni cattle are a breed of indigenous cattle found in southern Africa, primarily in South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. They are small to medium-sized cattle with a distinctive hump over their shoulders and long, curved horns. Nguni cattle are known for their brightly colored, ornately patterned hides, which come in a variety of colors, including white, black, brown, and speckled. They are also known for their adaptability to harsh environments, as well as their hardiness and resistance to disease. Nguni cattle play an important cultural and economic role in southern Africa, serving as a symbol of wealth and status, as well as providing milk, hides, and meat for local communities.
