Jutland cattle

Place of Origin Denmark
Origin In the first half of the 20th century the breed was extensively crossed with Dutch black and white cattle to boost milk production. By 1949 Dutch cattle and crosses were accepted into the herdbook and the name was changed to Danish Black and White Cattle. In 1955 the last purebred young bull was exhibited. Since 1987 the Jutland breed has been reconstructed using unregistered stock from farms which had avoided crossing their cattle with Dutch cattle.
Purpose Dairy and beef production.
Appearance Bred from the indigenous cattle of Jutland the breed could be light grey, dark grey or black pied.
Horns Medium upward curving horns
Cows Average Weight 550 kg (1213 lbs.)
Bulls Average Weight 1,000 kg (2,205 kg)
Other Considerations Breeders receive financial support from the Danish government to keep the breed.
