Salers

Salers cattle are typically horned and are dark mahogany red in color, however a growing number are now polled and black. The availability of polled genetics in addition to both red and black, gives Salers the advantage of a flexible breeding program.

The skin and membranes are brown, this reduces the occurrence of eye or udder problems. Salers coat becomes thick and curly in winter this increases hardiness and adaptability to cold and heat.
Having roamed the mountains for centuries and been draught animals they have developed strong legs and good feet with black hooves. Consequently the cattle can travel long distances over rough ground without developing foot problems.
