The red mottled cattle of the Triburg type are the most prevalent 
although the Grey Swiss and Simmenthal types are also well estab- 
lished. These improved breeds have in recent years been crowding 
out the native Hungarian breed, which, although making excellent 
yoke oxen, admitting of no comparison with the others, develop 
slowly, are difficult to fatten and yield relatively little first-class 
meat. East of the Danube are found large numbers of buffaloes in 
increasing ratio until in Transylvania among the primitive Rumanian 
peasantry they form 6.78 per cent of the horned cattle. Of the 
cattle in the old Kingdom of Hungary, 56.5 per cent were of the 
Swiss breeds.
