The Pogórze Bukowskie [Prof.Jerzy Kondracki . Geografia fizyczna Polski. Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe. Warszawa. 1988. ISBN 83-01-02323-6] ("Bukowskie Upland", "Bukowskie Piedmont", "Bukowskie Plateau", "Bukowskie Foothills") is one of theBeskids mountain range s of the OuterWestern Carpathians in southeasternPoland , part of the Central Beskidian Piedmont. Is a hilly region inPoland (Sanok County , andPodkarpacie ), between Beskid Niski andBieszczady near the riverOsława and San. Its name comes from the west slavic dialect word "buk", meaning "beech ". The mountain has two separate summits, Tokarnia (778 m) and Łysa Góra (420 m).Important villages in the region include
Bukowsko ,Komańcza ,Nowotaniec ,Zagórz ,Wola Sękowa ,Wola Piotrowa , andLesko . It is home to the Uniwersytet Ludowy, opened in 2005, which contains many artworks and effects of the folk handworks inspiration. Pogórze Bukowskie is situated in the poorest region of Poland.The region was a site of contention between
Poland , Kievan Rus andHungary starting as far back as the 9th century.Until 1947, 45% of the population of this part of the mountains were
Lemkos and Dolinians, 45% Polish Uplanders and 10%Jews . The killing of the Polish GeneralKarol Świerczewski inJabłonki by theUkrainian Insurgent Army in 1947 was the direct cause of the replacement of the Lemkos, the so-calledOperation Wisła .Original flora and fauna was preserved because of the area's remoteness. The mountain range is covered with
beech forests. The area is protected byJaśliski Park Krajobrazowy . Animals living in this reserve includeblack stork s, deer and wolves.There are many tourist attractions, including historic wooden churches (
Wisłok Wielki ,Komańcza ,Kulaszne ,Rzepedź ,Szczawne etc.), the increasingly popularskiing resorts ofKarlików andPuławy Górne , and the Regional Championship of the Hucul Horse atRudawka Rymanowska .History

Simmental cattle were brought to Poland at the end of 18th century. In 1909, there were 21 Simmental cattle farms in the Polish Kingdom and in 1920 the Association of Highland Cattle Breeders was founded. In the period between the wars, breeding of Simmental cattle was concentrated in Eastern
Małopolska Region and, specifically, in two districts: Krośnieński and Sanocki. At the time, the best cattle farms in Biłoboki reached the capacity of 6,295 kg of milk with 3.9 l fat content. From the outburst of the Second World War until 1995, a strong downward trend in the popularity of the breed among Polish breeders could be observed. Simmental bulls were liquidated and cows were typically mated with bulls of the Polish red breed. In 1955, by virtue of a decision issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the breeding of Simmental cattle was located in south-eastern part of thenRzeszów Region in several counties and the Pedigree Breeding Center was set up in Brzozów. Between 1956 and 1950, cows and bulls were imported from Switzerland, Romania and Austria and, from 1972 to 1974, also fromGermany . In total, between 1956 and 1974, 1,770 Simmental cows and 61 Simmental bulls were imported to Poland. From the early 1990s, the breeding of the Simmental cattle experienced another crisis resulting directly from a general recession in the whole Polish farming sector. The sale of the State Pedigree Breeding Center in Brzozów followed by the Center’s liquidation aggravated the crises. In the end of 1990s, the condition of the sector began to improve slightly. At present, the population of Simmental cattle in Poland is nearly 40,000.External links
