Salers cattle are a breed of beef cattle originating from the Auvergne region in central France. They are known for their distinctive reddish-brown color and long, curved horns. Salers are well-adapted to mountainous terrains and are valued for their hardiness and ability to thrive in harsh conditions. This breed is primarily raised for beef production, known for its high-quality meat that is marbled and flavorful. Salers cattle are also used in dairy farming, producing milk that is often used to make cheese, particularly the famous Salers cheese. Their gentle temperament makes them easier to handle on farms.
