This particular strain was established in the 19th century, using Jaca Navarra as a foundation, with as addition of various French draft breeds, including but not limited to Breton<\/a>, Pecheron<\/a>, Ardennais<\/a> and Comtois<\/a>. The breeding objective was essentially size, as this breed is bred primarily for meat. <\/p>\n Officially recognized by the government as a breed in 1979 and an association formed by 1999.
