Pie Rouge des Plaines or French Lowland Red Pied
Cattle
Pie Rouge des Plaines is a French breed of dairy cattle. Its name translates as Lowland Red Pied Cattle.
This breed was created in 1966 by crossbreeding Armorican with Meuse-Rhine-Issel and German Red Pied (Rotbunte) cattle. Pie Rouge des Plaines cattle are bred in the north-west part of France, in Brittany and Normandy. They differ from the superficially similar Red Holstein, which is a simple selection of red Holstein cattle.
