Suckler cows' barn

Born on the Aubrac plateau, the breed has adapted perfectly to the Aveyron extreme climate conditions: difference in temperature, wind, and cold. Its robustness and resistance are recognized qualities. Solidly built and with a moderate size, the Aubrac cow can walk long distances.

Our cows have a seasonal cycle. During the summer, they graze in mountain areas, and around the farm in the mid-season. They stay inside the breeding barn during the winter to ensure breeding and calving. Our calves are exclusively suckled by their mothers for a period of ten months after their birth. Then they graze in the mountain pasture. At the weaning, the calves are separated from their mothers and they eat a natural feed consisting of wild hay, cereals, and flaxseed for a proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6.
