Livestock Fair: Pirenaica cattle

I was in a livestock fair in Irurtzun and I could take good pictures of local breeds. These are Pirenaica cows and calves. The Pirenaica breeding association is Conaspi and is has been the object of many scientific publications.





In the same village, there used to be a weekly livestock fair every tuesday until the 70's. In this old picture circa 1950 you can see some local animals (some of them Pirenaica) that were used, among other things, for working the fields.
