Braunvieh
Braunvieh means "brown cattle"
in German. Brown cattle found in the mountains of
Switzerland during the 17th century formed the basis for
the modern Braunvieh. They are gaining recognition
as a breed for moderate frame, calving ease, excellent
disposition, efficiency in the pasture and in the feedyard.
Braunvieh are various shades of
brown ranging from light brown with gray to very
dark brown. The border of the muzzle is very light, as
is the poll, and often a lighter colored dorsal stripe
is seen. The udder and inside of the legs and underline
also being the lighter shade. A darker, smokier shading
is often evident around the shoulders and neck compared
to the rest of the body. The switch of the tail is dark
brown to black. The skin is pigmented, the muzzle is black,
and the hooves are dark and very hard.
