About the Droimeann Cattle Breed
The Droimeann is a small to medium sized animal. They are generally even tempered with a placid disposition and are intelligent in nature. They are dairy like in shape and produce milk high in solids. When fattened and killed their meat is marbled and has a distinct flavour. They come in various colours ranging from nearly all black, red or white with dark ears and muzzle. More often thy are dark sided red, black or blue with a distinctive white back and underside. They do better than other breeds on poorer forage which they convert easily to milk and meat. The Droimeann cow is very fertile and is early maturing.
