What is climate change?
Climate change means that extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, storms, droughts and bushfires will become more frequent, more widespread or more intense.
For Australia, it is impossible to precisely predict what the impacts of climate change will be as they will vary with each region. However, best estimates indicate that by 2030 Australia will face:
around 1 degree celsius of warming in
temperatures
up to 20% more drought-months
up to 25%t increase in days of very high or extreme fire danger
increases in storm surges and severe weather events.
This now leads us to the question of why one should consider Braunvieh as part of their beef breeding program.
The EUROPEAN FARM ANIMAL BIODIVERSITY
INFORMATION SYSTEM quotes the following
with reference to
Braunvieh Breed qualities information
Adaptability to specific environment
"The breed is well adapted to
mountainous regions and its heat tolerance is remarkable."
The Original Braunvieh has found its way into such countries as South Africa, Namibia, South America, Mexico, USA and Canada to name but a few.
