The history of pasture land on the Puszta goes back a long way. Some of our pastures lying in the vicinity of Lake Neusiedl have never ever been ploughed and were still part of marshland some centuries ago. This is the home of indigenous grasses that reflect the original vegetation. To maintain its character as pasture land this area needs to be used as grazing land or mown at least once in every three years.
The pannonian pasture land is especially characterised by its acid soils with a high magnesium percentage. This results in a certain variety of acidic grasses and is also essential for the right choice of breed. The Hungarian grey cattle or steppe cattle have adjusted well to the local requirements. Their breeding however is dangerous due to their distinctive herd instinct. Another breed that has adjusted just fine to the acidic grasses and herbs are the Angus cattle. They are regarded as a particularly extensive breed. In addition they have a good-natured character which allows us to go inside the herd and tend to animals at any time.
