Bos indicus cattle (like the Brahma) are capable of sweating through sweat glands in their skin. They sweat because it's a natural mechanism, like in humans, to cool off, to release excess body temperature when it is hot out or when they have been worked really hard. Bos Taurus cattle ("normal" cows), on the other hand, have to pant like dogs to regulate their body temperature, since they only have sweat glands on their noses and not the rest of their bodies.
