Brahman Cattle:
On Thompson Farm we are lucky to have two (2) Brahman Cattle. The Brahman is an American breed of zebrine beef cattle. It was bred in the United States from 1885 from cattle Kankrej, originating in India, imported at various times from the United Kingdom, from India and from Brazil. The Brahman have a high tolerance to heat, sunlight and humidity, which is perfect for summers here in South Carolina.
Water Buffalo:
The water buffalo is a large bovid originating in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and China. Today, it is also found in Europe, Australia, North America, South America and some African countries. River buffaloes prefer deeper water and they have very curious personalities. Their favorite thing to do is to lay in their pond at the farm and run around chasing each other at sundown every day.
