context_section_description: In India, Nepal, Tibet, and Mongolia, cattle are crossbred with yaks. This gives rise to the infertile male Dzo as well as fertile females which are bred into cattle breeds. The "Dwarf Lulu" breed of cattle was tested for DNA markers and found to be a mixture of both types of cattle with yak genetics.
