Pinzgauer
Pinzgauer were developed in the
"Pinzgau" district in the province of Salzburg, Austria, and
appear for the first time in documents in the 1600's.
Horned or Polled, Pinzgauer have pigmented skin under a chestnut red
coat and white markings on the back, tail and barrel. They adapt readily
and easily to a variety of climates. Eye problems are rare. Smooth hair
and firm, flexible skin discourages tick and other insect infestations.
Bulls average 2000 pounds
and up, while mature females level out at approximately 1,000 to 1,300
pounds with a moderate frame. Pinzgauer progeny have above average weaning weights, gain ability
and feed conversion, but they maintain the easy calving ability that
cattlemen prefer. Rib-eye measurements and marbling scores
indicate high yields and superb quality. The female's udders are well-formed and hold up well during
lactation. The breed is known for its docility.
