Charolais and Aubrac crossbreeds

The Charolais-Aubrac crossbreeds represent close to 40% of the cattle produced in Aubrac stables. In the registered stations this cross breeding is also practiced regularly.

This constitutes an incomparable advantage for the Aubrac breed, because this type of cross breeding allows for a better exploitation of the less excellent cows whose products are not apt for reproduction. In the registered stations, this percentage varies slightly according to the year.

Since the 1998 campaign, approximately 25% of the registered cattle are crossbred with Charolais. Before 1996 this percentage was greater than 30% and had decreased to close to 20% in 1996 and 1997.
