The breeds were bred in different climatic conditions of foothills and mountain regions of the Southern and the Western Bohemia. It was observed the use of permanent green grass by beef cattle´s pasture in relation of reached utility. There were included in total 31 farms in monitoring. The farms keep 7 breeds (Aberdeen Angus, Galloway, Hereford, Highland, Charolais, Simentál and Salers). There were 16 farms situated in regions under 600 meters above sea-level and 15 farms in regions over 600 meters above sea-level. The data were collected during 5 years.
