The Border Stack is a fairly new American hybrid, or designer, breed of cattle. The Border Stack was developed by crossing a Longhorn bull with a Black Angus cow. The offspring from this breeding were infertile. The Breeder was careful to select for traits favorable to the beef industry, and the females were chosen based on the ability to produce calves and ground-pounding carcass quality. The Breeder then crossed these cows with males that were structurally sound, fertile and had desirable genetics for the beef industry. The selected bulls were also crossed with females that are standard, with smooth, parallel horns and long, level bodies. This breeding program produced the first-generation animals, which were then used to develop the subsequent generations. These animals are the ancestors of the modern-day border stack.

Border Stack Activity Requirements
Border Terriers are a small terrier-like dog that are known for their intelligence and high energy levels. They may not be the largest or strongest of breeds, but they are certainly not one that likes to sit around. A daily walk or romp in the yard will be enough to keep your Border Terrier happy and healthy. While they are not a high-energy breed, they do need to stay physically active in order to be happy. Daily walks are an excellent way for owners to bond with their Border Terrier. The intelligence of Border Terriers may sometimes make them appear to be somewhat stubborn or independent. It is important to train your Border Terrier early and consistently in order to meet their exercise and socialization needs.
