The Telemarkfe or Telemark is a traditional Norwegian breed of dairy cattle. It originated in, and is named for, the county of Telemark in central southern Norway. In the second half of the nineteenth century it spread – with official encouragement – to most of the eastern and southern part of the country.[3]: 311 In the twenty-first century it is an endangered breed, with a total population of fewer than 600 head.[2]
