In Welsh myth, the Gwragedd Annwn were said to herd cattle. These cattle were special, and had a coat of pure white. They were known as Gwartheg y Llyn, or the kine of the lake. At some point, myth holds that a farmer caught one of these pure white cows, and it provided him with butter, milk, and cheese of the highest quality.
These cattle are now kept at Margam Country Park and this saved the breed from extinction. [10] [11] During the twentieth century Hereford cattle became the main beef breed, while Holstein Friesian cattle were popular as a dual beef and milk producer. In more exposed areas Galloway cattle and Welsh Black cattle were preferred. [12]
