Earlier this year, the Heck/Taurus herd at Fahrendahl (https://www.auerochsen-fahrendahl.de/) was joined by three individuals from the Auerrind project: Costanza (the Chianina x Watussi cow), Henry (a son of Claus and Doro) plus a young cross cow. Now new breeding herds have been assembled:
The video shows one of the new breeding groups with the sire Ernie (not to be confused with Erni, the Steinberg/Wörth cow), who has Taurus influence and is estimated to be 150cm tall at the withers. Ernie's herd not only has Constanza in it, but also the extremely beautiful Taurus cow Eliese from the Lippeaue (a daughter of Laniel and a daughter of Londo and Lerida).
Another breeding herd this year is that of Elias - a son of Eliese and Egon (a Steinberg/Wörth-influenced Heck bull) with a top ancestry and great potential (and quite an aesthetic look, I think).
The third breeding herd is with the bull Kasimir, a son of Dominator and Bionade! He is joined by Ella, a daughter of Egon and Eliese. What I love about this young cow is that the Chianina influence is recognizable yet it still has the dense and shaggy Heck cattle winter coat (you can see it here f.e.). They share the herd with some beautiful classical Heck cattle cows.
I am amazed by these great animals and the potential of these combinations is tremendous. The Fahrendahl herds are definitely among the most promising breeding-back herds today.
