The Rendena cattle breed, native to Trentino and Veneto, grazes on the Asiago Plateau in summer, preserving landscapes and producing high-quality dairy and meat. Valued for their adaptability, Rendena cows contribute to Italy’s agricultural landscape, with selection nuclei in Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna.

Additionally, their popularity in new breeding areas underscores their resilience and appeal across diverse grazing conditions, making them valuable assets to Italy’s agricultural heritage. As stewards of the land, breeders play a crucial role in preserving the breed’s unique characteristics and ensuring its continued contribution to the agricultural landscape of Italy.
