Reproduction


Aubrac cattle are especially outstanding in their reproductive capacity, which is consistent regardless of the environmental conditions.

 Cattle under control (*)

 41,941
 Easy births (*)  98%
 IVV* average  382 days
 Cattle older than 10 years (*)  14%

*IVV: Interval between births

The breed reproduction qualities guarantee one calf per cow per year to the operation, without a problem. This is, in effect, the principle component of income.

 

Interval between births (IVV)

Some average statistics:

IVV average: 382 days (average taken for 37,116 cows)
IVV cows in second birth: 394 days (for 34,705 cows)
IVV cows with more than two births: 375 days ( for 30,207 cows)

1% of the cattle were between 1.5 and 2.5 years old.
17% of the cattle were between 2.5 and 3.5 years old.

It can therefore be concluded that the renewal rate is approximately 18%.
