French Guyana
 
Are you looking for a hardy breed?
Aubrac is your first choice.
Hundreds of AUBRAC cows were imported several years ago, at the same time as three other French breeds.
Only AUBRAC showed profitability.


Mountain zones
 
Examples:
Aubrac plateau
 
The Aubrac mountains,
A unique, rustic and magnificent region.
The majority of AUBRAC cattle are raised in the middle of the original environment that formed and modelled, with the passing of time, all the legendary robustness and nobility of the AUBRAC cow.


Arid zones
 
Example:
* Low mountains of the southwest
 
              Adaptability,
An inherent characteristic of the Aubrac breed
* Wastelands
Various herds were installed in uncultivated land abandoned to weeds (Aude, Hérault, Landes, etc.).
The need for constant movement to find food and water in rough, hard terrain, in suffocating heat and constant wind, revealed the formidable capacity for endurance of the AUBRAC cow, as well as its exceptional aptitude for maternity and reproduction.


Very humid temperate zones
 
Examples:
* Swampy terrain in regional parks in the west of France
   * Ireland, England
 
                Aubrac,
The all terrain breed

Various institutions in charge of the conservation of protected natural areas successfully opted for the implantation of AUBRAC cattle in difficult and neglected terrains, from which other breeds had deserted.

Managed in extensive lactation systems, the AUBRAC cows guarantee profitability that challenges any competition.



Fertile valley zones
 
Example:
* Lot valley
* Germany (Hamburg)
* Italy (Po River plain)
 
Aubrac, the nursing breed,
Gifted with great potential

The AUBRAC mountains extend to the south and include fertile plains where many AUBRAC cattle stations are found.
AUBRAC herds take full advantage of lands of high agricultural potential thanks to the precocity, make up and the impressive growth of Charolais-Aubrac crossbred cattle.
These cattle are destined principally for the production of weaned calves, yearlings of 12 - 14 months of age and of 18 months of age.
