Best Answer

Cattle which are raised for their muscle mass rather than their milk are beef cattle. Such cattle must be slaughtered in order to obtain such a product, unlike with dairy cattle which must be alive in order to produce milk. Breeds of beef cattle include (but are not limited to) Angus, Hereford, Shorthorn, Charolais, Devon, Galloway, Simmental, Brahma, and others.
