The Blonde d'Aquitaine is a French beef cattle breed created relatively recently (1962) from

beef cattle and are prevalent in other European countries; they have also been further crossed with beef breeds elsewhere in the world.
The Hungarian Grey, also called Hungarian Grey Steppe Cattle, is one of several grey cattle with long, upright
