Along the centuries, these cattle endured poor ranges, droughts, heat and other adverse factors, becoming well adapted to the unfavorable conditions of Northeastern Brazil semi-arid zone. However, despite they are a valuable genetis resource, these cattle are at risk of extinction. Because of this, the Brazilian Organization for Agricultural Research (Embrapa), using in situ and ex situ conservation methods and with  the participation  of cattlebreeders, is truying to avoid the disappearance of this breed.  acattle  aBovino  aConservação  aConservation  aCurraleiro  aPe-duro  aPotencial  aPotentiality1 aGIRAO, R.
