The destiny of Estonian polled livestock has never been easy, neither during the era of manor owners nor collective farms. There were about 20 000 polled cattle animals before the war in Estonia - today, there are less than 500 animals and the species has been included in the list of world's endangered species. Enthusiasts still make an effort to fight for "their" cattle, but for how long? The documentary was completed for the 80th anniversary of founding the Estonian Society of Polled Livestock Farmers.
