Since the original aurochs (Bos primigenius) went extinct in 1627, Česká krajina picked back bred cattle from the Dutch Tauros Programme.
Tauros cattle are selectively bred from approx.
30 breeds of cattle with the aim to create a breed resembling aurochs in appearance, size, behaviour and manner of grazing.
The first herd of Tauros arrived to the Czech Republic in October 2015, one male and five females.
The first calf was born in April 2016.

Numbers in total: 13 Tauros - 7 born in Milovice (February 2018)
