It was merged in the 1920s with the Swedish Ayrshire breed to create the Swedish Red-and-White (Swedish: Svensk Röd och Vit Boskap or SRB), which is one of the principal dairy breeds of Sweden.
The Swedish Red Pied originated in the nineteenth century from cross-breeding of local cattle with imported Ayrshire and Shorthorn stock.
At some time between then and 1928, the traditional Herrgård,[2] Skåne[3] and Småland[4] breeds were merged into the Swedish Red Pied;[5] they are thus considered to be extinct.
