  Brown Swiss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brown Swiss is the breed of dairy cattle that produces the second largest quantity of milk per annum.
The Brown Swiss originated on the slopes of the Alps in Switzerland; because they were bred in this harsh climate, they are resistant to the heat, cold and many other common cattle problems.
The conventional breed known as Brown Swiss is actually quite different from the original Schwyzer Braunvieh cattle cultivated in northern Italy and southern Germany around the end of the 17th and 18th centuries.

 Brown Swiss Fable
This is the reason why in the States we have an organization which raises Original Braunvieh and this association regards Brown Swiss as a different breed (rightly do they do this), the same as in Mexico where they identify the original Braunvieh as European Braunvieh in contrast to the Brown Swiss.
So the Board of Directors of the Braunvieh Breeders became very concerned about the competition, that is why they asked for the allowance from Bern to use Brown Swiss semen which they explained to the breeders as going back to the Original Breed some 100 years ago.
So Brown Swiss might go back to Braunvieh but they are very much different, with much different blood mixed into the breed.
