The Hortobagyi Taurus cattle started with Heck x Hungarian Grey animals, to which Taurus individuals from the Lippeaue, a Holstein x Hungarian Grey, Watussi and later also a breeding bull from the Wörth/Steinberg lineage (named Anno) were added. They have some very interesting animals there.
Here are some recent photos, published by the Hortobagyi National Park on facebook:

I also found two youtube videos featuring bulls:
The second video also shows steers among the bull groups. I like the horn curvature of the bull at 3:28 in the second video.
In general it can be said that the Lippeaue Taurus cattle have the better overall morphology (proportions, body shape etc.), while the Hortobagyi Taurus cattle have more horn volume and also the curvature is not bad in many individuals.
Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWould be great they manage the bodyshape the sexual dimorphism a bit better.
