Gloucester cattle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gloucester cattle were numerous in the Cotswold Hills and the Severn Valley of England as early as the 13th century. They were valued for their milk, producing Gloucester cheeses, for providing strong and docile draught oxen and, as a final product, for their beef. By 1972 only one significant herd remained and the breed was in danger of dying out. The Gloucester Cattle Society was revived in 1973 and the breed has moved from near extinction to there being over 650 registered females.
Stinking Bishop is a cheese made exclusively from Gloucester cattle milk.
