It highlights breeds that originated or were refined in that period, often emphasizing traits like milk production, meat quality, or adaptability. This lineage includes notable breeds such as the Hereford and Ayrshire, which have contributed to modern livestock through selective breeding. Understanding the Victoria lineage helps breeders trace genetic traits and improve herds by combining historical characteristics with modern genetic insights.
