The Braford breed is a result of crossbreeding Brahman with Hereford.

What is the average advantages of crossbreeding over pure breeds of a swine?
Cross breeds usually carry the genetic traits of both parents.

They're cattle, so Bos taurus.

What is a Brown Swiss species?
Brown Swiss is not a species. All cattle, regardless of breed, are generally and collectively known as the Bos primigeniusspecies. The B. primigenius species contains two subsecies: B. p. taurus and B. p. indicus. The former is of the Temperate or European-type cattle, and the latter of the Africa-Asiatic/Zebu/Tropical-type cattle. Because the Brown Swiss is a part of the Bos primigenius taurus species, which are the European-type cattle, it in itself is not a separate species, but rather a breed of this species.

Dairy cows are generally of the species Bos taurusbecause, for one, they share the same ancestor and two, they are very closely related, only separated by their breeding, which distinguishes them as a sort of "subspecies" (which they aren't, since a breed is not a subspecies of a specific species) within the Bos taurus species.However, not all dairy cows are of the species Bos taurus. There are many other dairy breeds that are of the species Bos indicus, but only of which are found in Africa and Southern Asia.
