Welcome to Aubrac country! |

"I am certainly impressed with our Aubrac-sired calves. They are extremely vigorous at birth, calve easily, and explode with muscle after they're a week or so old. Our yearling Aubrac bull has adapted very well to our harsh fescue grass environment."

"I was looking for something different. I wanted a pure breed. I asked questions. I had long talks with people I respected. Then I found Aubracs. The breed is built on grass efficiency. It was successful because it balanced maternal and reproductive traits with muscle and forage-efficient growth. It was the right decision for my farm, and the right decision for my family."
-- Mark Ford, Alabama |

"The Aubrac calves are livelier, more aggressive. They get up and nurse a little quicker. Plus, the Aubrac stay in condition real easy on grass. Usually when you turn cattle out on grass, they will probably lose condition some, but Aubrac actually gained condition from what they were in the yard."
-- Bob Schelhaas, Minnesota |
"When you really see the Aubrac advantage is when you feed in the winter. When the snow starts to blow, our Aubrac cows get thicker and fatter, while our other cows get thinner. Our Aubrac bulls work up onto the hillsides to find forage while our other bulls from other breeds hang around the feeding ground. It's really impressive to see the forage efficiency of the Aubracs."
