It was in danger of extinction until a few years ago. They stand out for their large and spectacular antlers.
It shares kinship with the Barrosa breed. In Cachena breed competitions, the smaller the animal, the higher the score it receives. Sweet, tender meat with intensity. Cattle extremely adapted to a cold, rainy and rocky high mountain area where pastures are scarce. Despite the small size of the animals, the narrow loins have good conformation.
The average height of the males is 122 cm and their average weight is 585 kg. Cacheno in Galician means small.
