Loess Plateau produces premium beef via cave-dwelling cattle

Pingliang red cattle have a history deeply rooted in the farming traditions of the Loess Plateau. For centuries, cattle have been an important part of local agricultural life, and generations of breeding have helped develop the breed's distinctive characteristics.

"There is a local saying that describes their features: a silky coat, fan-shaped ears, sturdy horns, a square muzzle and pillar-like legs," said Song Zhiliang, head of Zhongbin Pingliang Red Cattle Industrial Park.

"They grow at a slower pace, and the best quality usually comes from cattle raised for more than 36 months. The longer they are raised, the richer the marbling and the better the flavor."
