The Guatemalan Criollo (aka Criollo in Spanish) varies from being black speckled to just black or tan in color.
The Guatemalan Criollo belongs to the Criollo cattle group.
Criollo cattle: Northwestern Blond Iberian Spanish cattle became Canary Island cattle - some of which were brought by Columbus in 1493 to Santo Domingo (which is now the capitol of the Dominican Republic).
More and more cattle were brought by Spanish ships and these cattle then spread throughout the islands of the Caribbean and became known as Criollo cattle.
It was into Mexico in 1521 that Criollo cattle were brought to the mainland for the first time (supposedly from Santo Domingo) - and it’s from Mexico that the Criollo then spread into the Americas.

The Red Devon (aka Devon, Red Ruby, North Devon, Beef Devon) was in danger of becoming a watered down breed during the 18th century due to the practice of marketing off the best cows.
To stop this, a breeder in North Devon (Francis Quartley) purchased the best cows from 1793-1823 and used them to improve the herd he had inherited from his father. By doing this, he and his family helped provide the foundation for the modern Devon.
