Why is Bull in there as if it was something South Americans Hunters hunt, lol?

"Yeah, i hate my neighbour who happens to own a farm, going to send my hounds after his cattle. That will show him"

There are wild cattle in Brazil (like most places in the world). Apparently they call them "Bagual" or "baguá" ?

I won't claim I've heard much about them.

Bagual are Wild Horses. Not Bovines. You are thinking about Marrua. Who is a domestic Cattle breed. Not Wild. I believe introduced Wild Water Buffalo are the only Wild Bovines in South America.

bagual was defined as "loose", "unbranded" and "no man's" cattle that "lives in the bush".

In a similar way, a new term—bagual—was adopted in Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina to refer to feral cattle and horses. The origin of this word also dates back to early colonization at the end of the sixteenth century, though it hails from a different geographical area: Buenos Aires. Daniela Lauria (2010) attributes the origin of the word bagual to Querandi or Pampa Indigenous people, who used it to describe feral horses. Other sources, however, present the word’s first appearance as the proper name of an Indigenous leader, the cacique Juan Bagual, who was “assigned” (encomendado) with all his people to a Spanish captain in 1582 and was known “for his indomitable character and for his resistance to being reduced” (Lamas 2018, 81). In 1604, after Bagual led a rebellion against the Spanish, the word bagual came to indicate a different category of rebellious beings: fugitive horses and cattle.

So it seems it HAS been known to describe feral horses, but also gets used to describe feral cattle.
Regardless, there are feral cattle throughout south america as there are in most parts of the world.
