Volyn meat cattle
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Volyn meat cattle is a breed of cattle created in the Volyn region of Ukraine. This breed was created over 20 years (1974-1994) and as of 2009 represented about 28% of all the meat cattle in Ukraine.[1] The second native breed created in Ukraine, Volyn meat cattle were the result of crossbreeding of local Black-and-White and Red Polish breed cows with bulls of popular meat cattle breeds like Aberdeen-Angus, Hereford, and Limousin.[2] The development of the breed continues to be supported by the Ukrainian government; the Volyn regional administration awarded more than 7.8 million Ukrainian hyrvnia (about 70,000 Euros) to breeders in 2011, for instance.[3]
