Legends
See also Timeline.

Early in Shahr history a caste system developed where society was divided into farmers, warriors and scholars.

According to legend, the scholar caste would migrate east and the warrior caste would migrate west. Eventually, both would settle overseas while the farmer caste stayed in Shahr.

The scholar caste would settle in the lands of Surabhi and become the Aghnya. The warrior caste would settle in Farasi and become the Ncuni. The farmer caste would become the Goshorun.

Distribution
Cattle live in a wide variety of environments. They are mostly found in Surabhi where they make up the majority of the population and they make up important minorities in Equestria (especially in the Shahr region) and Farasi.

Ethology
Cattle point their horns upwards as a sign of trust. Conversely, pointing the horns towards someone is a sign of distrust or threatening.
