472 CATTLE 



exportations had been made from Switzerland into Hungary and 

 Italy, where these cattle were regarded with favor. They are also 

 found in western Austria, Germany, France, Spain, the United 

 States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. About fifteen thousand 

 Brown Swiss cattle have been registered in the United States, 

 these being mostly east of the Mississippi River, the better-known 

 herds being in New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. 



The promotion of Brown Swiss cattle in Switzerland is under 

 the supervision of the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders' Association, 

 with headquarters at Lucerne. This association has published 

 several herdbooks. There is also the Union of the Associations 

 of Cattle Raisers of the Swiss Race. In this country the Brown 

 Swiss Cattle Breeders' Association of America, organized in 1880, 

 cares for the promotion of the breed and attends to registrations 

 and transfers. Up to 19 19 there have been published five herd- 

 books, showing a registration of 6199 bulls and 8899 cows.
