BÉARNAIS
 |
Also
known by: Basco-Béarnais
Most of this breed of cattle are owned by
the Conservatoire des Races d'Aquitaine.
The animals are older
cattle, bought because of an interest in the breed.
|
They are
kept as potential producers of bulls and are either approaching, or
past, 20 years of age. A part of this herd used to spend the summer
in the Pyrenees, returning to the 'Ferme Conservatoire' only for the
winter.
This very special breed is still milked by some mountain farmers. They
content themselves with 7 or 8 liters of a milk which is very rich but
pale in color. The cheeses (called 'tomes') they make from this milk
look similar to the 'tomes' made from sheep or goat's milk (and is in
fact often mixed with them).
This is also a very ancient type of cow and it is interesting to note
that they were selected for breeding more for their aesthetic qualities
(especially their horns) than for any reasons of productivity.
