It's a case of cross cultural cattle, no matter which way you look at it. A Taumarunui cattle breeder has exported a New Zealand raised bull with Italian ancestry to Norfolk Island – it's the first of its breed ever to go to Norfolk.

Don Buchanan and Cheri Riches of Rangiriri Piedmontese Stud exported a young pure bred Piedmontese bull to the island in June.
Piedmontese bulls are said to have emerged after Brahman cattle from Pakistan made their way to North Western Italy and bred with the local Auroch cattle.
The myostatin growth factor protein in the Piedmontese was mutated and as a result the animals produce more meat and less fat.
Their bodies reputedly have 14 per cent more meat than equivalent sized cattle, making them a relatively economical beef breed.
In Italy they are farmed for their milk, which is used for cheese making.
The plan for Norfolk Island cattle owner Simon Bigg was initially to import two young Piedmontese bulls from Australia but as that country has no regulations governing transport of livestock in crates by sea, the sale fell through.
Simon then turned his attention to New Zealand, where he found a bull calf from Rangiriri. The mission was accomplished when Cheri accompanied the calf on its sea voyage.
