[QUOTE="CKC1586, post: 641113, member: 816"] Gosh, the more you describe your needs I think you may be missing an obvious solution. Might be worth speaking/contacting a breeder close to you or that is in similar situation before you rule out the Piedmontese. [i]These two distinct breeds, the Auroch and the Zebu, blended and evolved in the harsh mountain terrain over[b] thousands of years [/b]to become the Piedmontese breed. In 1886, it was the appearance of double-muscling in Piedmontese cattle that attracted the attention of breeders, who had the foresight to recognize the enormous potential of this development. The first Italian Herdbook was opened in 1887 and breeding programs designed to improve the herd and eliminate detrimental aspects associated with double-muscling were put in place.[/i] Okay, no more from me. Take care and have a great day. :tiphat: edit to add publication about grass fed Piedmontese: [url=http://www.pauscattle.org/PPROFILE_WINTER09.pdf]http://www.pauscattle.org/PPROFILE_WINTER09.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
