Just look at those horns!
You can find herds of these wonderful
white cattle grazing freely on the hills around
this area.
The "Butteri" are the original
cow-boys, sorry America!
|
The Maremma is one of five rare breeds from
the centre of Italy.
Its meat is obtained from both the male and
female, the animals being registered by the
Italian Breed Society or coming from first
generation crosses between registered Maremma
cows and bulls belonging to specialised meat
breeds (Chianina, Marchigiana, Romagnola,
Charolaise and Limousine).
The calves live in the field while still with
their mothers and are then either kept in
stables or are allowed to graze freely in
the fields until slaughter.They are also fed
forage and guaranteed quality animal feed.
The animals are slaughtered when they reach
11 - 24 months.
