Burlina

Cattle

The Burlina comes from the Venetian Prealpi at the sides of Mount Grappa. Burlina dates back to the Roman era when the Cimbri Migrations led some northern European pied cattle breeds to these regions. The Cimbri belonged to populations living in the Jutland peninsula (Denmark). As a pure breed there exist very few examples in the provinces of Treviso, Vicenza and Verona nowadays, while in 1930 the stock was of about 15000 heads. The Burlina breed was officially accepted at the first Register office in 1980.
A black-pied coat prevailing over the white. White limbs, black head with a star in the forehead. White tail tuft; grey and black wide muzzle. Moderate size and height.Both meat and dairy production breed, mainly dairy though. Very rustic, able to exploit poor mountainous pastures.
