Le Faou-Brittany

Once-a-day milking herd south of La Faou-France

The "Bell Cow" is the only cow in this Brittany herd which wears a bell. She is the most economically profitable cow in the herd from the previous season. This years bell cow in the crossbred herd is a Monty-Jersey cross.


Many of the Montbeliard cross heifers in this herd are smaller in stature than their Friesan-Jersey cross dams. It appears the concerns of the stature of Montbeliarde cattle can be managed with the choice of the correct genetics within the breed
