Iurino Cattle 

a breed of dairy and beef cattle. It was developed during the 19th century in Nizhny Novgorod Province by crossing local cattle with the Tirolean, Krasnaia Gorbatov, Brown Swiss, and Aligäu breeds. It is named after the village of Iurino (now an urban-type settlement in the Mari ASSR).
