History [edit]
This breed comes from ancient cattle bred in Bazas, a little town in the south of Bordeaux. It is probably related to Limousin or Blonde d'Aquitaine.
Morphology [edit]
The color is grey, with dark skin and pale nose and around the eyes.
Bulls average 1100kg[1] and cows 700kg for 140-145 cm tall.
Use [edit]
This breed was a draught breed for working in Bordeaux's grapevines. Since the Second World War it has become a beef breed. Cows have strong calves which grow fast on the cow's milk. It gives high quality meat. The famous "entrecôte à la bordelaise" owes its notoriety to this breed.
