The bulk update request #13461 is pending approval.
create alias beef_cattle (1496) -> cattle (53755)
create alias dairy_cattle (3597) -> cattle (53755)
Reason: dairy_cow is already alias to cattle with topic #56533, so dairy_cattle should also go with it. Same story with beef_cattle - just a distinction in raising without being a separate species
I mean, if dairy_cow has already been aliased away, then the concept of the BUR makes sense, but...

...this is not actually true. Cattle that are for milk, have been selectively bred for milk, for many, many generations. Likewise with cattle that are for beef. Saying that the only difference between dairy cattle and beef cattle is in how you raise them; is like saying that the only difference between a Siamese cat and a domino cat, is how you raise them. Or-better example-that the only difference between a Saint Bernard and a chihuahua, is how you raise them.
No, that doesn't have anything to do with the BUR, I just saw a factually incorrect statement, and my ADHD (possibly slightly autistic, I can't be sure) brain went "HNNNNNRGH!" XD
Idk, this feels like aliasing herding_dog to domestic_dog. They're ways to classify breeds which can be useful if there's a lot of breeds, which there are.
The list of breeds of cattle on here also currently lacks a lot of implications like belgian_blue (beef), angus_cattle (beef), and brahman_cow (beef and zebu hybrid).
