Pembroke cattle are hardy, black cattle with short legs that are used for both dairy and beef production. They are native to Wales and recognized and registered by a society formed in 1867 to improve the breed. Some Pembroke cattle may have white faces and udder markings due to cross-breeding. They are known for their good milk production and were also used for droving and as store cattle. The breed originated in counties like Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and South Cardiganshire, with distinct strains in the Castlemartin and Dewsland areas. Today, Pembroke cattle are part of the Welsh Black breed, which was created by registering Pembroke cattle with black cattle from North Wales in 1904. By the end of the 19th century, 25,000 black cattle from South Wales were being sold annually to England.
