Braunvieh (German: "brown cattle") is a breed of cattle originating from Switzerland. Braunvieh cattle imported to the United States in the 19th century[1] were the origin of the modern Brown Swiss cattle breed. Since the 1960s, Brown Swiss cattle have been crossed back into the Braunvieh stock of Europe. They are commonly various shades of brown in colour with lighter points. They are known for their excellent milking abilities and meat quality. They are also very docile and easy to work with.
