Why Ulleung Chickso?
▶Rapid changes to breed Korean cattle
After 1990s, when WTO and FTA started, government more opened our livestock market to keep domestic rice production.
Korean livestock was changed very fast. Govenment focused on price, supported factory-livestock. and also enforced grading system of animal products from 1993 for quality.
but factory-livestock was inadequated in Korea. Korean rural area is consist of mainly mounts, about 70%. in difficult situation to get rice cultivation area, it was difficult to find a site for cattle-farm.
Especially, as the number of cattles increase, the damage of disease was extended.
and also the grading system is only to test fats in rib eye. for more fats in beef, farmers fed more grains to cattle. and the number of feeding cattles were increasing, farmers did not feed wild vegitables, less and less. farmers must to accept the grading system, because all marketer request certificate of grade for them.
most farmers have to feed more grains to cattle longer up to 36 months(900kg) for more fats in rib eye.
Importance of Ulleung wild vegetables fed Chickso for future of Korean Livestock and choosable right to food
In result, Korean grain import was increased, speedingly. it became to second GMO import country in the world.
and the grading system of animal products stimulated fired cook to enjoy taste softly fats in rib. but it is dangerous, cause benzopyrene which is a cancer-causing agent.
Recently, many consumers avoid fat-beef, but old Korean livestock system is not changed. and trditonal feeding system is almost vanished. but only old farmers and young farmers who return to the land are keeping grass-fed system. but they too little to change meat production & marketing system.
Even if Ulleung county has not get a enough sites for freely breeding cattles, Ulleung was supported 5 million USdollars by government to recover chickso breed.
because after 1990s, Ulleung Yakso(medical cattle), which is named yellow cattle, fed unique wild vegetibles, has been recognized as high quality beef in our country. The reason of Ulleung Yakso preference is the feeding system, using wild vegetables. as well as Ulleung is very distance from mainland to protect diseases as like foot-and-mouth disease which had attacked all of south korea in 2011. and also Ulleung is pulled up the drawbridge, thus it take a advantage to keep pure breed.
Ulleung Agricultural Technology Center set a plan to establish the new farm for seed bulls and cows with pastureland. Ulleung county want to promote this farm as a tourism farm. but it is met with harsh criticism to contaminate water and environment. as like a farmer had stopped to graze.
▶If Wild vegetable fed Chickso can take help...
Now, There are chicksoes grazing at only one farm in Ulleung, but this farm is operated by Semo Group, which is owned by a false religion, has something to do with recent ferry accident.
We have to focused on the poor farmers, more helpful than suitable. they are the small farmers who did not get a chance for better educations and supports.
Although they did not have knowledges of animal welfare, but they have done their best. at least, they effort to feed more grasses as they can do in difficult situation for a safe food, against grain feeds with GMO.
I believe that the poor farmers keep our own breed and Korean biodiversity for the right to food of next generations.
Historically, Cattle is always with Ulleung people, Ulleung chickso farmer is too small to contaminate environment. Ulleung chickso is not source for environmental pollution.
Chickso is very important being, what we have to keep. when Ulleung people take care of this life, then and not till then many people love Ulleung chickso. please, join forces with farmers to graze, and to establish new farm.
I think that if Ulleung chickso, only to fed wild vegetables and self-feeding, can take 'fame' from consumers, Ulleung people will welcome it. and they do not presume chickso-farm as a sauce of contamination.
First of all, Consumer Cooperatives will begin to pay attention to natives and traditional cattle breeding, and thus our country's livestock rule would be changed as like EU's grading system of live cattle's physical condition, not fats by grain feeds with GMOs.

Thank you to the lovely Korean lady who filmed my jump from far away, the rest was done on my GoPro Hero 6. I should have wiped off the lens but you can't remember everything!

Ulleung Island - Dodong Forest Walk
I wanted to find a secluded place to practice my bagpipes so I took a walk up the Dodong Forest trail and decided to take a video to give preview of the trail. I went to the highest point on the walk. If you keep on the trail you will eventually reach the Dodong Lighthouse but I didn't want to spoil the whole trail! Hope you enjoy and for more info check out our blog -
Ulleungdo, Around the whole Island in 1 Day
Ulleungdo is not a huge island, it is only about 72km squared! So I've wanted to try get around the entire island since I first moved here. At the time of making this video there is still no complete road around the entire island so this required a lot of hiking and some careful planning. I started and finished in Dodong.
I wanted to visit as many of Ulleungdo's attractions along the way so that if you visit the island with only 1 day to tour, you can try replicate my adventures! I nearly achieved everything I hoped to and you can see the it all in the video.
