The successful birth of a Vaynol heifer calf through embryo transfer (ET) has boosted efforts to save one of the UK’s rarest native cattle breeds, conservationists say.
The calf, called Snow due to her white colouring and the conditions at the time of her birth near Edinburgh on January 6, was born through the first successful ET for a semi-wild cattle breed.
Vaynol cattle are descended from ancient herds of white cattle brought to Britain when it was still connected to Europe by land.
