What is
Welsh Black Cattle?
The Welsh
Black is a native British Breed descended from cattle of
Pre-Roman Britain in the rough mountain and hill country
of Wales. Originally there were two distinct strains of
Welsh Blacks, both known as a dual purpose animal; the
compact sturdy North Wales type and the bigger, rangier
South Wales type. The successful intermingling of these
types over the past 90 years has resulted in an optimum
sized animal with an emphasis on beef production. The
unique traits of the breed are a result of this heredity
and environment.
The Welsh Blacks are now established throughout the U.K.
and have proven themselves in Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and the US.
Welsh Blacks offer the commercial cattleman a profitable
alternative for herd improvement.
The purebred breeder and the commercial cross breeding
cattleman can use Welsh Black to aid in a progressive
and profitable breeding program.
