More information

Colour

The coat is fawn-coloured, solid but with varying shades, from wheat colour to pale grey. The shade of the coat is darker on the shoulders and on the croup. This characteristic is accentuated on non-castrated males whose forelegs are almost black.

Extremities

The mucous membranes, the rim of the anus, the lips of the vulva, the tassel of the tail, the hooves, the tips of the horns, and the edge of the ears are black. In the bull, the edge of the scrotum is black.

Horns

Pointing obliquely and slightly toward the front, they then straighten out and then spiral back, the tip pointing back. As far as the colour, the tips are black and the base must be as white as possible.

Head

The muzzle, the rim of the eyelids and the eyelashes are black, surrounded by a white halo. The tongue is slate colour.
The lively eyes are outlined in black as if with make-up (Andalusian eyes). The forehead is square and the forelock wide and often curly. The ears are medium-sized, fine, and edged with black hair. The head is beautiful and expressive, the muzzle short and wide.

Legs

Short and fine, the legs are extraordinarily strong. Shoed with black hooves, the Aubrac is gifted with excellent legs. The hind legs have wide and strong hocks.

Tail

The tail is fine and long, not rising at the root of the tail. It blends smoothly into the body and ends in a black tassel.

Body

While the neck and flanks are somewhat short, the chest and loins are wide. The pelvis and hips are well developed and flat. The top line is straight; the chest is deep and the ribs well sprung. The dewlap is less developed, but the croup is muscular. The hindquarters are thick without being heavy and are well-fleshed down to the hocks.

Overall harmony

Standing on four perfect legs, the Aubrac is a medium-sized breed, solid and thick, that shows all the characteristics of a robust animal.

Elements leading to rejection for registration

-> Muscular development too beefy

-> White or red hairs, especially in the tassel of the tail

-> White patches, especially on the belly or the tongue

-> Bad temperament

-> Smoky coloured muzzle, without white edge

-> Bad legs

-> Mouth under-shot or over-shot.
