The Caracu is a Brazilian breed of beef cattle.^[4] It is a Criollo breed, derived from European cattle brought to Brazil by the conquistadors; it has little or no zebuine influence.^[5] It was originally a triple-purpose breed, used for draught work and transport, for meat and for milk; in the twenty-first century it is reared principally for beef, but there are also dairy lines. It has contributed to the development of a number of other breeds, among them the Caldeano.^[6] It is closely similar to the Mocho Nacional, a polled breed, and it is probable that the two will be merged.
