We raise fifty
Gascony cows,
local breed
, with a gray coat
and beautiful eye makeup
Yes, really"beautiful eye makeup
the tinkling of bells helps to find
the herd in the fog
The calves are born during winter, with a red coat.
The gray coat appears after 4 months
The little calf sucks all the milk of his mother. .
Hummm...warm milk, I feel good ..
Early morning in Unac meadows
Good, soft and sweet grass of spring
The snow has melted, it is time for transhumance
In summer, cattle grazes in high mountain
with the cows of the village..
A little caress ...
Herd around the hut
Brice oversees the herd
Insolent!
For herding,
cowherds and shepherds are helped by their dogs
From May to October, the herdsman lives in pastoral huts
scattered in the mountain to allow the herd
grazing and maintaining these vast spaces.
Even modernized and very pretty,
of stone or wood
the cabin remains a rough shelter
The sheep pastured the highest and steepest
territories
In winter, cows eat hay. yum ... yum ....
Cows stay at Appy
from October to May
And, at Appy (1000 m), winter is hard!
Twice a day, distribution of barley flour
and fava .... a real treat
The animals for sale are fattened
with barley flour and fava.
We don't use silage or pellets manufactured,
only grain and grass
The flour mill, an old tool
crude but effective!
In winter, the departure of animals is not always easy!
This November 15, we had to pull the car with the tractor.
We choose to produce in small quantity, quality meat.
Rediscover the "true taste" of good meat knowing from where it comes and how it was produced!
We sell all our production of beef and calf in boxes of 6 kg.
