The Bohuskulla is an endangered Swedish breed of hornless mountain cattle. It originates from the area of the Шаблон:Illm plateau in northern Bohuslän and Dalsland, in western Sweden. It is a traditional domestic Swedish breed, and derives from a group of cattle discovered in the 1990s in Skepplanda, in Västergötland, close to the border with Bohuslän.Шаблон:R Microsatellite analysis has shown it to be closely related to the Fjällko mountain cattle of Sweden.

History

The Bohuskulla is a traditional domestic Swedish breed. Microsatellite analysis has shown it to be closely related to the Fjällko mountain cattle of Sweden;Шаблон:R however, unlike the Fjällko, it is polled, hornless. It originates from the barren pasture land of the Шаблон:Illm plateau in northern Bohuslän and Dalsland, in western Sweden. Many were exported to Norway in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Шаблон:R

In the 1990s a small population was identified in Skepplanda, in Västergötland, close to the border with Bohuslän; the cattle had been brought from the Kynnefjäll.Шаблон:R A herd-book for the breed was established in 1993.Шаблон:R

There is a programme of recovery and conservation of the breed.Шаблон:R The Bohuskulla is grouped with two other endangered indigenous cattle breeds, the Ringamålako and the Väneko, as Allmogekor, or roughly "Swedish native cattle".Шаблон:R Conservation and registration of these populations is managed by a society, the Föreningen Allmogekon.Шаблон:R

In the past, some cross-breeding with the Fjällnära boskap breed of mountain cattle was allowed. Under a new breeding plan drawn up in 2007, this is no longer permitted.Шаблон:R

In 2011 the total Bohuskulla population was reported to be 39 cows and 11 bulls, with semen from a further 7 bulls available for artificial insemination.Шаблон:R In 2008 the Bohuskulla was reported to DAD-IS with 36 registered cows.Шаблон:R In 2016 it was no longer among the breeds reported by the Swedish Board of Agriculture.Шаблон:R

Characteristics

The Bohuskulla has the typical qualities of mountain cattle: it is agile, fertile, and calves easily. The coat is variable; it is often colour-sided, either black or brown.Шаблон:R Bulls weigh approximately Шаблон:Nobreak, cows about Шаблон:Nobreak.Шаблон:R

Use

Like the other Allmogeko breeds, the Bohuskulla is not very productive.Шаблон:R
