The Ferrandaise cow almost conquered the Auvergne

The Ferrandaise is a cattle breed that experienced a prosperous period at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1907, the herd reached approximately 150,000 heads, supplying the city of Clermont on its own by producing 18,000 of the 22,000 liters of milk consumed daily. This strong presence culminated between the two world wars, before the breed found itself competed with by the Salers.
