Hérens cattle

The Hérens (Eringer in German) is a breed of cattle named after the Val d'Hérens region of Switzerland.

These small, horned alpine cattle are coloured black, brown or dark red, often with a lighter stripe along the spine.

Newborn calves are red with a dark stripe along the back, with the colours reversing as they grow.

[2] A distinguishing feature is the short and broad head, with a concave front line.

The cattle are bred primarily for beef, but the cows produce around 3,200 kg of milk per year.
