Normande
The Normande is a distinguished cattle breed hailing from the Normandy region of France, renowned for its adaptability and versatility. This dual-purpose breed is celebrated for its exceptional milk production, particularly prized for the cheese-making qualities of its rich and creamy milk, used in traditional French cheeses such as Camembert and Pont-l'Évêque. Normande cattle are medium to large in size, characterized by their striking coats, typically a blend of rich browns, reds, and whites, often in speckled or patchy patterns. Their robust build and strong legs make them well-suited for grazing on diverse terrains.
In addition to their dairy prowess, Normandes are also valued for their beef, known for its excellent marbling and tenderness, contributing to the breed's economic versatility. This adaptability to various climates and terrains, combined with their calm and docile nature, makes the Normande a popular choice for farmers worldwide seeking a breed with both high milk yield and quality beef production. Their historical roots in Normandy have equipped them with a resilience that continues to make them a vital component in sustainable farming practices.
