Évolène cattle

Place of Origin Switzerland
Origin Cattle are an old breed of dairy cattle from the Valais canton of Switzerland.
Purpose Used more for beef production than milk production.
Appearance The Évolène is a medium sized, black pied or red pied breed. Similar to Pinzgau Cattle, the white parts of the fur are mostly on the back and the abdomen. The cattle are very muscular, with noticeable neck muscles in the females. Évolènes have short, strong legs and a short, broad head.
Horns The horns are very strong and long.
Cows Average Weight 400 - 500 kg (882 - 1102 lbs.)
Bulls Average Weight 600 - 700 kg (1323 - 1543 lbs)
Other Considerations It is an endangered cattle breed. Similar to the Tux Cattle and the Herens, Évolène females are very aggressive, with cows fighting for their ranking in very long fights.
