Najer Cattle

The Najer Cattle is an old breed of cattle, belonging to a wide group of cattle. It is likely to have evolved in the north of Andamooka (Najer's most eastern province) around 1500 years ago. They are said to have been tamed near the beginning of the Mahait Seyohdom around 900 years ago, when the Mahait tribes expanded into the region. The species is distributed across much of Najer, northern Simulami and south western Plagos.

History
The Najer Cattle is known to be a large cattle that evolved in the Ajek Peninsula, in Najer, and were farmed by the native Ajek tribes until Danelen IV of the Seyohdom of Mahait invaded the area and learned of the Ajek's cattle training. After learning about the domestication of such animals they traded the cattle all around their empire, giving new environments to thrive in around Andamooka. The Mahait Seyohdom started giving Najer Cattle to the surrounding nomadic tribes. Once the cattle had been given to the first tribes it started being traded between all of them, even reaching the west of Najer near Sidel and Najera'Jad over 300 years later.

The cattle may usually be a number of different colours ranging from light grey to dark brown but the most common is a reddish brown fur, with white patches all around its head and torso. The tails of the Najer Cattle usually end in a blonde fur colour.
