Taurus cattle
Taurus cattle are an advanced form of Heck cattle, an attempt of breeding back the aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle. They are the result of crossbreeding traditional Heck cattle with aurochs-like cattle mostly from Southern Europe to achieve a greater resemblance to the aurochs and larger body size. Taurus cattle herds are located in Germany, Denmark, Hungary and Latvia and are used in conservation of natural landscapes and biodiversity.〔Margret Bunzel-Drüke: (″Projekt Taurus – En økologisk erstatning for uroksen.″ ) Translated into Danish by Karsten Thomsen. Lohne: ABU 2004; Århus: Nepenthes, 2005. 〕 Taurus cattle is a breed that is still being crossbred and selected.
== History ==
In 1996 the conservation group ''Arbeitgemeinschaft Biologischer Umweltschutz'' in Germany started to crossbreed Heck cattle with primitive cattle from Southern Europe such as Chianina, Sayaguesa Cattle and the Spanish fighting bull in the Lippeaue reserve near the town of Soest. The purpose was and is an increased resemblance to the extinct aurochs, because they considered Heck cattle not satisfying. For example, they write in one of their publications: ″''The ′recreations′ by the Heck brothers are too small, too short-legged, not elegant and their horns are not satisfying''″.〔ABU info 06/07: Bunzel-Drüke, Scharf & Vierhaus: (″Lydias Ende – eine Tragikomödie.″ ) ABU info 30/31 (2006/07), pp. 58–67. 〕 Therefore the goal is to breed cattle that are considerably larger, more long-legged and long-snouted and have horns curving forwards additionally to the wild type colour scheme that was already present in the population.〔〔Cis van Vuure: (''History, Morphology and Ecology of the Aurochs (Bos primigenius).'' ) 2002.〕 By 2003 the breeding process had advanced enough to consider the animals a breed in their own right; as breed name, ''Taurus cattle'' was chosen.〔Marcel Keiffenheim (text), Lin Lambert (pictures): (″Das Ur-Viech.″ ) Greenpeace Magazin (Germany) 5.03. 〕 Also in 2003, a breeding herd each was started in Hungary and Denmark, in 2004 one was begun in Latvia.〔
