The breeding of Chinese grassland red bull began in 1953, which is mainly distributed in the grassland areas of Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Hebei provinces (autonomous regions). The dairy short-horned bulls introduced from Canada and New Zealand were crossed with local Mongolian cattle step by step, and the improvement stage was 1953- 1972, and a large number of second-generation and third-generation hybrid cattle were bred, from 65438.

1973 ——1979 is the stage of hybrid fixation, and the ideal hybrid male and female are selected from the hybrid cattle for hybrid fixation according to the grade; 1974, the project of "Red Bull Breeding in Grassland" was included in the national key scientific and technological projects. In the same year, in Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province, a cooperative group of grassland red bull breeding in three provinces (regions) was established, and the "Grassland Red Bull Breeding Scheme and Appraisal Standard" was drawn up. 1979 In June, the "Grassland Red Bull Breeding Committee" was established, and the "Grassland Red Bull Trial Breeding Scheme" and the "Trial Measures for Identification" were revised.

1980-1985 is the improvement stage of selfing. The methods of comprehensive grade evaluation and continuous breeding are adopted to select and retain excellent breeding cattle, and homogeneous and heterogeneous distant selection is adopted. At the same time, the offspring of bull were determined and the artificial insemination technology of frozen semen was popularized, so that the production performance and genetic stability of cattle were obviously improved and the expected breeding goal was achieved. 1On August 20th, 985, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries organized and held the "grassland red bull variety acceptance and variety standard validation meeting" in Chifeng City, and named it China Grassland Red Bull.
