Period 1979-2009: a development without precedent.

RESURGENCE:

Unwilling to watch the inexorable disappearance of this breed, and committed to no longer seeing it on the list of extinct species, a group of people convinced of the specific advantages and the superiority of the AUBRAC cow in many aspects, decided to undertake the rediscovery of the "Black-eyed beauty". Their dynamism and motivation resulted in the creation of the UNION AUBRAC, in 1979. Close to extinction in the seventies, the AUBRAC breed began to excite interest, thanks to the implementation of efficient measures applied starting in 1979. Since then this interest in the acquisition of AUBRAC breeding cattle has not ceased.

The breed has won over diverse regions of metropolitan France (Corsica, Massif Central, the southeast and northeast of France) as well as the French overseas departments and territories (Guadalupe, Guyana). This development has also been felt outside of French territory. More than 15 countries have already imported the AUBRAC breed and continue to regularly acquire animals, embryos or semen for insemination. (Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Russia, Lithuania, Hungary, Austria, Great Britain, Spain, Luxembourg, Portugal, Canada, the United States, Morocco, Italy, Belgium, New Zealand, etc.).

The cattle association UNION AUBRAC managed to reach its ambitious goal of repositioning the AUBRAC breed at the height of its qualities. This has been achieved by uniting all the AUBRAC breeders and building with them a coherent selection policy.
