Pustertal Pied

Cattle

Pustertal Pied Cattle (in German: Pustertaler Schecken or Pustertaler Sprinzen) are a rare cattle breed from the Puster Valley in the Italian province of South Tyrol. The breed was developed in the Pustertal and its side valleys by crossing Swiss Herens cattle with the local breed. In the nineteenth century some breeders crossed in Pinzgau cattle. After the ending of inspection for bull licensing through a Decree of the Agrarian Inspectorate 1927 the cattle breed collapsed. Only since 1984 has importance again been attached to the breeding of these cattle.
