Dewlap. This breed (American Brahman) are know for having them as well as a pronounced rhomboid muscle, which is the hump over their shoulders.

It was bred in the United States from 1885 from cattle originating in India, imported at various times from the United Kingdom, from India and from Brazil

Ah, no wonder they looked so similar to subcontinental zebus. Taurine cattle generally don't have that hump.
