Bovine

Bovine, or bovidae, were a group of ungulates and the most widespread livestock across the galaxy. Meat from a bovine is known as beef. Types of bovine include cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, wildebeest, oxen, impalas, sheep, goats, muskoxen, and nerfs. By the modern era, there were thousands of individual bovine species, nearly all of which having been domesticated as livestock.

History
The first bovine to be cultivated for meat and dairy were cattle, buffalo, and goats. As these creatures became widespread on dozens of Human worlds, many other bovine species emerged over the millennia. Ancient historians believed that the first bovines were created as the result of genetic modification by the Rakatans. Oxen, bison, and buffalo were primarily used by farmers for physical labor, though their meat was also often consumed.
