Not a breed I am familiar with, until now. They certainly look special and very nice beasts.Colin and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990185210945021818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-88946344443715977702012-01-17T20:25:39.434+01:002012-01-17T20:25:39.434+01:00The male certainly looks like a Charolais.

There are other possibilities though. Charolais are by far the most common breed of white cattle and are a beef breed. Salers are a little more unusual, a dual purpose breed used as a beef animal in the lowlands, on poor pasture with low stocking rates. They take longer than the main beef breeds to mature and are smaller animals, so you have to hope to get a premium for them or be farming them for some particular reason eg organic. Nature reserves use them as their large grazing animal sometimes. In the mountains they are most famous as a dairy breed.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-13044335734966099482012-01-17T19:17:26.168+01:002012-01-17T19:17:26.168+01:00Dear Elizabeth and Colin,

As to the heifers and the bull. All we had on our nonworking farm back in the '40s and '50s was a Guernsey. She was a dear cow who gave us milk rich in cream.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.com
