which two cattle breeds originated from france
One of the oldest beef breeds in France. The Parthenaise, is derived from cattle that for centuries have been found in Western France and Brittany where they are used to produce high quality lean meat sought after by today's consumer.
Breeds of Livestock-Limousin Cattle. The History of Limousin The history of Limousin cattle may very well be as old as the European continent itself. Cattle found in cave drawings estimated to be 20,000 years old in the Lascaux Cave near Montignac, France, have a striking resemblance to today's Limousin. These golden-red cattle are native to the south central part of France in the regions of Limousin and Marche.
