Romanian Bălțata is the most popular breed of cattle in Romania. Red and white in colour, it is particularly renowned for remarkable beef and milk production, as well as its hardiness and docile disposition.

Origin

As its name implies, the “Romanian Bălțata” was bred in Romania. It is descended from two breeds, Romanian Steppe Grey from Romania and Simmental imported from Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia.[citation needed]

Characteristics

A mature cow typically weighs 600 kg, while the bull typically weighs 900 kg. They stand 133 to 150 cm tall at the shoulder.[1] Its annual milk production averages 4,500 liters, according to the data available in 2003. Of this, 4% is butterfat and 3.2% is protein.[2]
