About the Mishima Cattle
Mishima cattle are small, black native cattle raised on Mishima Island in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Maintained on the island without outside blood, they are regarded as close to the ancestral type of Japanese beef cattle and were long used for farming. The whole area where they are bred is protected.
