Cattle (Bos primigenius indicus) Herd

Issued in 1962 as part of Sudan’s Indigenous Motifs series, this stamp recognizes the importance of cattle husbandry in the country's economy and traditional way of life. Livestock raising has long been a central activity in many regions of Sudan, providing food, trade opportunities, and livelihoods for pastoral and agricultural communities across the nation.

The inclusion of cattle in this series reflects the significance of agriculture and animal husbandry to Sudan’s development during the early post-independence era. By highlighting key elements of rural life and national resources, the issue promoted awareness of the economic and cultural contributions of livestock to Sudanese society.
