The Vorderwald (, ) is a cattle breed originating from the Black Forest (Germany).
== History == The so-called "Wald Cattle" (Wäldervieh) were mentioned for the first time in 1544. The Vorderwälder (literally "from the frontwoods") adopted its name when they were distinguished from their somewhat smaller sister breed, the Hinterwälder (literally "from the backwoods"). A herdbook was established in 1896. After 1960, there was some crossbreeding with Ayrshire cattle.
