It is recommended to feed cattle grass, hay (not too much rich alfalfa hay as this can cause digestive problems), a COB mixture (corn, oats, barley), silage, or pure corn. These feeds are high in energy allowing the optimum growth and meat conversion.

They can be either horned or polled. The majority of Simmentals in North America are polled, though it is not uncommon to find cattle with the horned gene, despite the fact that most of the horned animals get dehorned when young.

As the related question below explains, selective breeding is a tool that is used to improve one or more particular characteristics that is lacking or is inferior in a dam or sire to obtain offspring with that/those improved characteristic[s].

To improve milking ability in a dairy herd, cows are bred to a bull with a dam that has higher milking ability EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences: another word for genetic trait selection) than the cows do. The daughters that come from these cows with higher milking ability than the milking ability average of the herd are selected to be replacements in the dairy herd; the cows that have decreased in production or are low producers are culled. These daughters are further mated to other bulls that have improved milking ability characteristics to produce more daughters that have superior milking ability to them. And on it goes. Eventually the dairy farmer has a herd that is producing a lot of milk, thanks to genetic selection and selective breeding practices.

Brahman cattle are derived from the species Bos indicus, which is the species of cattle that evolved in the Middle East to tolerate high heat and humidity. The hump assists the animal in dumping excess heat so that the animal doesn't overheat.

They are known as the "profit breed". Beefmaster cattle are 50% Brahman, 25% Hereford, and 25% milking shorthorn. They were developed to withstand high heat temperatures, and originated in Texas. They are dual purpose (they can be used for milk production or beef production), they have a great disposition, fertility rates, carcass weight, and a good carcass conformation.

Most likely the Chianina, since it is a draft breed with a heavy bone structure and tends to be the heaviest breed of bovine in weight in the world. Belgian Blue may also be a candidate, however with their finer bone structure and extreme muscling that is often much too heavy for the animals to work with, some animals (especially the bulls) get to the point where they're literally incapacitated by their own weight and need human assistance to even walk into a trailer. So just because they look like "body builders" doesn't necessarily mean they'd be considered as the strongest breed of bovine in the world. Chianinas, on the other hand, are built for work, even though they do not have the double muscling myostatin gene, and are thus bred to pull very heavy loads in the country they were originally bred for draft work. South Devons are another large breed that should also be considered as one of the strongest breeds, since this breed was also bred for draft purposes.
