Hi !
France is back..
Good cows, if you want my opinion:
Suzette has à perfect body and good plumbs. But something is disturbing me about her head, does she really have grey horns like on the photo ? And she has no black under her eyes or on her legs.. But still an exellent cow !
Cassie...
Thank's for the explanation. I understand those reasons but still think it's a shame... Idk Angus beef, but for example, I know Limousin beef, and it is exellent. No need to cross it.
Thanks!
Aubrac and simmental have only one common point: both can produce Milk and Meat.
Fertility: Aubrac so much better
Tempérament : same, dépending on How you Work with them.
Calving. Very easier with aubrac
Size: simmentals are enormous compared to aubracs.
Meat and Milk better with simmentals
Nice calf but not à simmental for me.
Nevertheless I understand that your cows are adapted to your systèm.
I don't say that your cows are bad, i'm just disappointed because american breeders make all breeds Turn black sometimes without any reason.
Simmental breed founds its origin in Alpes mountains.
The current French simmental breed stills clear and fullblood. They just have more muscle.
Don't tell me your Beautiful black cows are fullblood simmental.
If I had to describe US from Our French point of view I would say those words:
Hamburger, obesity, ranch, Donald Trump, Irak, war, ranch, bad food, fast food, celebrity, MC donalds
French simmental and swiss simmental are different. Learn it.
Of course simmental breed isn't perfect, but It's more intelligent to Work on it than to destroy the breed. :)
Oooh! Thank you soooo much! I understand now! I was wondering why US breeders call black cows Limousines ...
I understand you about your grandpa's herd...
I'm honestly disappointed because Limousines and Simmental are French breeds and I can't admit that US people dared change those breeds and...
ABOUT MY FORMERS BUILDINGS:
I talked about it a few posts ago. My Aubrac cows are currently in parks with straw. But before, they were attached.
In south of France, and particularly in mountain areas (where straw can't grow), cows are attached. I'm gonna try to explain how it works with some...
This debate is turning bad guys...
I just wanted to know which stereotypes you know about France, just to laugh!
But you're free to talk about what u want...
Hi. It's the French breeder again...
Today I create this new topic to talk about my other passion: SIMMENTALS.
As some of you asked me, I post photos. Hope simmental breeders will participate!
Here is my current favourite simmental:
HARMONIE (Wille x Rumba x Far West). We bought her at an...
If you want to know my opinion, IBOVAL and others statistics don't reflect the real performance of the cow/bull.
I like Campeur because he is out of a very old origin of Marie Coumoul, a great breeder. He has the perfect type (beautiful horns, clear color etc..)
Unfortunately, doses aren't...
Thank you so much! Of course I will keep posting!
Here are some of my cows last summer, next to the village of Aubrac. (June 2015)
In the foreground, Sedan, one of my most productive cow, a granddaughter of Hector IA.
The third one, Nantes, is a campeur daughter, one of the best IA bull for me.
I love those cows because They have à really good type. I'm in love with black cows like Moselle.
Moreover, those cows were Angels....
Unfortunately, the black one Calved 13 rimes and gave me 10 pairs of...
I agree with you but in France Aubrac breeders are the Worst...
Wow your book seems to be so Intéresting ! Im gonna read it When I have à few minutes..
The climate is also à good reason for me, but buildings cost so much....
Beautiful COW !
First, I think it's difficult to compare humans to cows. Moreover, I'm not sure that all the vitamins humans take makes them older. In France, life expectancy is decreasing... Centenaries were generations born in the 30's.. I'm not sure to be one day a centenary. But that's another debate.
I...
