Provided herein are methods to discover and use single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for identifying parentage or identity of a bovine subject. The present invention further provides specific nucleic acid sequences, SNPs, and SNP patterns that can be used for identifying parentage of various breeds of cattle including Angus, Holstein, Limousin, Brahman, Hereford, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Charolais and Beefmaster breeds.
