[QUOTE="Kent, post: 202107, member: 2134"] The article states: "The breed was developed in the mountainous and semi-desert regions of southcentral France. The people who raise Aubracs have developed this breed to be efficient and productive under grass conditions. There are no feed grains grown in this region. So they have capitalized on the breed's foraging abilities to produce a highly successful grass-fed called Fleur d'Aubrac." Why don't American universities focus on developing the breeds we already have, even winnowing out some of the minor breeds, so that we have Angus, Hereford, Char, Simm, etc., that are more specially developed for the region they are raised in. They spend too much time trying to stand on the shoulders of other breeders and get a quick fix for cattle. I say leave the Aubracs in France and get to work developing new lines of Angus and Hereford for the Southeast. [/QUOTE]
