Brahman cattle originated from several breeds brought over from India: Nelore, Gyr, Guzerat, and Krishnar Valley zebu strain to a lesser extent. The Brahman breed consists of both Grey and Red Brahman cattle; there is no distinct breed of Red Brahman. There is, however, a distinct breed of Red Brangus cattle, which are cattle of the composite breed that has been created with the breeding up of Brahman and Red Angus cattle.

India, since the breeds that were made to create this breed come from this country, even though the Brahman was created in America.
