April 2018: A 10 day tour around Austria with visits to Pinzgauer breeders in several states concluded in the General Meeting of the Worldwide Pinzgauer Associations, and the Pinzgauer Show 2018 in Maishofen, Salzburg. There was a separate section for Beef Pinzgauers, and some very impressive animals on show.

A test for the poll markers has been available in Europe for some time, and has been used by European Pinzgauer breeders promoting their bulls. As of February 2018 poll testing is now offered in Australia through NEOGEN, and Pinzgauer society members have been quick to take up this testing, in order to determine whether animals bred from two animals with the poll phenotype are now heterozygous or homozygous polls. Breeding a homozygous poll bull is the goal of the breeder, as such a bull will produce 100% polled offspring. Please contact the society for details re this testing.
