Lourdais

Cattle

Lourdais are a French breed of cattle from the Pyrenees. They are creamy white in colour with upward curving horns. Originally a multipurpose breed they are now used for beef. This breed comes from a group of ancient yellow breeds, known for a long time in Aquitaine, parent of limousin breed. This breed was grouped with other yellow breeds as "Blondes des Pyrénées" before becoming Blonde d'Aquitaine in 1962. In the 1980s numbers fell to 30 cows and one bull. Today there are 170 cows and 20 bulls. A 'Ferme Conservatoire' maintains a herd of some twenty cows with good milking qualities.
