Philippine cattle are indigenous to the Philippines and play a vital role in the country's agricultural industry. They are small in size, with bulls weighing around 400 kg and cows around 300 kg. The breed is known for its color, which ranges from gray to brown to fawn and may have white spotting. Philippine cattle have a unique appearance, with females being humpless and males having a low hump. They are used for various purposes, including draught work, milk production, and beef production. However, carabao are usually preferred for draught work. Four distinct breed types have been identified, including Ilocos in northwestern Luzon, Batangas in southwestern Luzon, Iloilo on Panay island, and Batanes Black on the Batanes Islands.
