Piedmontese cattle, have a unique tenderness gene not found in any other breed of cattle. Not only does this make the meat the most tender of all cattle breeds, it also is the leanest - with less cholesterol than fish. The breed has a 14% better meat yeild that other breeds - and this extra meat is in the better yields. If you are a commercial cattle or dairy farmer, a breeder, or a lifestyle farmer it is vital you have a good look at this breed. Contact our President, Sectretary, or one of the members listed. We would love to talk with you!
