The more I look at the picture, the more I think that Dero and TJ are right. My first guess was the Aubrac as it doesn't look like the fullblood Chianina I have seen and the Marchigana's an Romonolia were both heavier muscled and heavier boned than this female looks. We used to have quite a few full blood Chi's around here, and they were very distinctive.... as well as totally wrong to work in this country.The Marchiana's and the Romonolgia were not as tall as the Chianina, with the Marchi's being probably a little bigger framed than the Romanolgia's. I remember seeing a couple Marchigana bulls that I thought were excellent beef bulls. I think their colour may have been one of the reasons they did not catch on better, as by the time they hit North America, everyone had used the Chi's and were getting tired of the crazy calves. Most of the fullblood Chi cattle were extremely docile, but the F1's were a completely different story. I have seen Chi cross cows make it over 7 foot gates, at an auction market. Maybe some of these breeds are going to make a comeback, as I heard that Hartman's have been buying all the Marchigana embryos they could find stored in Canada. From what I heard they have gathered up close to 100 of them .
