Sapi Bali

The Bali cattle are one of the few species of true cattle that did not descend from the extinct aurochs. Their domestication occurred around 3500 BC, originating from banteng ((Bos javanicus). The temperament of the Sapi Bali is timid and deer-like, making them suitable for plowing rice paddy fields, but their hooves are too soft to pull cargo on paved roads. [Wikipedia]

 

Meat from young Bali cattle is noted for being exceptionally tender.
