Parthenaise

The Parthenais are reddish buckskin to a dark brown color with dark brown to black around the neck, eyes, ears and jaw. The face and muzzle are lighter. The nose, hooves, and tail are black.

Fullblood cattle are well framed, double-muscled (not as large as the Belgian Blue) and have a high muscle-to-bone ratio. For example purebreds will dress out over 67% while fullbloods cut out at over 77%. French government statistics show Parthenaise to be highly productive, fertile producers of high quality, lean meat.

The Parthenais thrives on all types of terrain and can cope with differing climatic conditions and has very good disease resistance. They have great mobility and thriftiness.
