Let’s taste the originally Hungarian Grey Cattle organic meat from the heart of Europe.The Hungarian Grey Cattle Breeders Association was founded as the first civil organization in Hungary.The association then started to grow rapidly,now it has a nationwide size of hundreds of active members.The aim of the association is to breed, protect, distribute, open market,present and develop valuable and useful properties of the Hungarian grey cattle breed according to the rules of preservation of gene reserves. The variety is considered a national value, Hungarian Grey Cattle whose pure maintenance is in the interest of the future.
