[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1691013008333{background-color: #f9ecc5 !important;}”][vc_column_text]The Brahma of Costa Rica are a fascinating breed of cattle known for their size, strength, and adaptability. These magnificent animals have been bred for centuries, originally originating from India, and are highly valued for their ability to survive in the diverse climates of Costa Rica. Despite their reputation as tough and formidable creatures, Brahma bulls are also known for their intelligence.

Brahma’s have impressive cognitive abilities that are comparable to those of highly intelligent mammals. These cattle are known to have a high level of problem-solving skills and can adapt to various situations. They can learn and remember complex tasks, making them highly useful in agricultural work. Whether it is pulling heavy loads or participating in traditional bullfights, they demonstrate great comprehension and ability to follow instructions. Additionally, Brahma’s are highly perceptive creatures, able to recognize familiar faces and remember previous encounters. 

They can also understand human emotions to some extent, responding to cues and signals given by their handlers. This intelligence and comprehension make Brahma not only impressive physical specimens but also fascinating beings that contribute to the cultural and economic fabric of Costa Rica.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Writer’s Note: the school district I grew up attending in East Texas was Paul H. Pewitt. He donated the land for the school between the two rural towns of Naples and Omaha. He raised Brahma bulls. It was our mascot. Forty-something years later, I live in a country where I see them all over here in Guanacaste. Grazing, walking along the road…always looking impressive.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1691079310772{background-color: #18b7be !important;}”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/pAPe_HPUc0k?t=15″][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”See this article in the digital magazine” style=”3d” color=”white” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fissuu.com%2Fhowler%2Fdocs%2Foctober_howler_2023%2F154%3Ffr%3DsNWM2MDY2Mjg4MTg|target:_blank”][vc_separator color=”white” border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1690683645055{background-color: #e2c2b3 !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”See more photos with the CR Facebook Group” style=”3d” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2F2521380204751022|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
