That ties in with one of my other passions: the Slow Food movement and its focus on preserving local livestock variety. You've chosen a most beautiful and wonderous part of the world to live in. I'm delighted you found this blog. :thanks: Fascinating information on the cattle.

The other breeds in Italy have DNA that comes from Northern Europe. This, to me, reinforces the idea that the Etruscans migrated from Lydia (a part of Turkey) into the Tuscan area. I live on the Tuscan/Umbrian border and constantly visit Etruscan towns and sites and all this is of great interest. Thanks for your site!
