The Salers cow is a breed of cattle originating from the Salers region in the Auvergne area of France. Known for their distinctive red-brown, curly coats and lyre-shaped horns, Salers cows are celebrated for their hardiness and adaptability to harsh climates. They are one of the oldest and most genetically pure of all European breeds, with a history dating back several thousand years. Salers cows are dual-purpose, raised for both their high-quality milk and beef. Their milk is particularly prized for cheese production, most notably the renowned Cantal cheese.
Salers cattle are known for their excellent maternal qualities, with cows exhibiting strong protective instincts and high fertility rates. They are also valued for their ability to thrive on rough terrain and in adverse weather conditions, making them well-suited to mountainous regions and extensive grazing systems. The breed's beef is highly regarded for its marbling and flavor, contributing to its popularity among farmers and consumers alike.
