Holando-Argentino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holando-Argentino is a breed of cattle primarily found in Argentina, and derived from the Holstein. It was first introduced from The Netherlands in 1880, to the fertile regions the Pampas, and devoted to the production of both beef and milk.

Holando-Argentino cattle can be now found in the Argentine provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba and Entre Ríos, as well as in small river basins in Salta, Tucumán, Formosa, Catamarca and Mendoza. It has also been exported to neighbouring countries. It is primary kept for milk production.

Promotion of this breed and technical resources to manage it are the goals of the Asociación Criadores de Holando-Argentino (ACHA, Holando-Argentino Breeders Association), founded in 1944.
