Today, the cattle are not only a specialty food product but also a driving force for rural development. Pingliang has built a complete industrial chain covering breeding, farming, processing and sales. Traditional farming wisdom is being combined with modern technology, including digital monitoring systems and precision feeding, to improve breeding efficiency and quality control.

"Pingliang red cattle are capable of producing high-quality marbled beef comparable to top Japanese Wagyu," said Chen Xiongbing, head of Pingliang Taihong Beef Cattle Breeding Co.

"Some of their aroma compounds are even considered superior to those found in Wagyu."
