Trauffer Rhaetian Grey Cattle

ProSpecieRara The Rhaetian Grey Cattle is a robust and durable dual-purpose breed. Because it is largely satisfied with grass and hay, it is particularly suitable for the use of natural pastures. Thanks to its low body weight, the Rhaetian Grey Cattle can also graze on steep pastures, causing minimal trampling damage.

In the past, almost every region of Switzerland had its own farm animal breeds. Many of these breeds became extinct around and after the World Wars. Among the animal breeds that have survived, several are still threatened with extinction today. Since 1982, they have been supported by the ProSpecieRara Foundation along with many dedicated animal keepers. The traditional company Trauffer Wooden Toys has, in collaboration with ProSpecieRara, dedicated an elaborately hand-carved collection to these endangered animals to raise awareness of the rare breeds. Additionally, 50 cents from the proceeds of each wooden animal goes to ProSpecieRara projects for endangered animals.
