Meat

Another strength of the Montbeliarde 

The Montbeliarde is a dairy breed but it can also produce meat. Male calf value is very appreciated by farmers, along with the possibilities to upgrade culled and young bulls.

A Montbeliarde herd produces a superior meat yield of 30€/1.000L on average, compared to a Holstein herd*.

According to a 2012 survey**, the butcher’s value of the Montbeliarde is amongst the first qualities named by farmers (with health and longevity).
