Romosinano cattle are a beef cattle breed primarily used for meat production. It is an indigenous cattle breed from Colombia, raised in the Sinu Valley, in northern Colombia.
The breed’s name comes from the fact that the breed is polled (romo) and from where it originated in the Sinu (sinuano) river valley. It is also known as Coastal sounding, Moruno-Sinuano. Romosinano cattle originated in the late 1800s.
It is a criollo type animal, from the horned race of Spanish origin Costeño con Cuernos. It remains unclear whether the trait in question is an independent mutation within Costeño con Cuernos or whether Angus or Red Poll blood was introduced.
