GREAT GENETICS THAT FACILITATE YOUR WORK
|
| The Normande breed is one of the dual-purpose breeds. It enables its breeders to produce quality milk which is rich in proteins, as well as meat renowned for its flavour and its marbling.
In addition to its good milk and economic results, the Normande breed has kept its functional aptitudes, thus ensuring comfort to the breeders' everyday work: thanks to its fertility, its longevity, its easy calving, and its docility.
