[QUOTE="dun, post: 405604, member: 34"] I think the basic difference between what we in states call Braunvieh and what we call Brown Swiss is like the difference between Durham (Shortorns) and Milking Shorthorns. You take a group of cows and select one bunch for milk and another for beef and within a few generations you'll have one strain that is beefy and another that is milky. Within a few generations you could probably breed them back by using the milky cows with a beefy bull and he beefy cows with the milky bull and keep reversing the slection process that got them to be distinct in the first place.
