EASY CALVING

The Salers has the largest pelvic area of the major beef breeds, which combined with its shorter than average gestation leads to stress free calvings, saving sleepless nights, vets bills and extending the working life of the cow.

Most importantly it gives the calves an excellent start, which enhances their vigour and cuts calf mortality. Salers calves are noted for their "get up and suck".

   

MILKY MOTHERS

The Salers is the ideal suckler dam, having been selected over the centuries for the maternal traits of high milk yield from rough forage, early maturity (first calf at two years old) and short calving interval.

She is capable of calving the progeny from the more muscled terminal sires without assistance.

The Salers breed has been milk recorded in France since 1925.  Selective breeding produced a cow that would simultaneously nurse a calf and produce quality milk for the local cheese industry. The long lactation period of the Salers cow reduces the need for creep feeding of calves.
   

HOW DO THEY COMPARE

Suckler Farmers : The Salers breed is uniquely suited to meet your needs in today's demanding environment especially when breeding your own replacements. Low cost easy management.

High Growth Rate : Performs well under all feeding systems, with daily liveweight gains comparing well with the best of the terminal sires.

Quality Meat : The Salers combines continental carcase conformation (kills out greater than 60%) with a traditional marbling to give a high quality meat much appreciated by the butcher. Taken altogether, choosing to use a Salers bull can only improve your heard performance, now and in the future.
