Aubracs are ideal for today's beef production. They are structurally sound and problem-free, possessing excellent foraging abilities and maternal and reproductive soundness. They are extremely easy-keeping cattle, and they produce lean, but high-quality carcasses.

Aubrac calves come easily and without trouble. They will grow quickly, muscle up within a few weeks of calving, and continue to grow through weaning. Their calf- and feedlot- performance is excellent. And, because they're a maternal breed, the heifers are top-notch replacement females for years to come.

For centuries the breed has been developed and selected for foraging ability, and they not only possess the right grazing behavior for improved pasture utilization, they also have the right body type. They are deep-gutted, short-legged and extremely rugged cattle -- ideally suited for mountainous terrain or big prairie pastures.
