Double C Blondes
Specializing in the Fallou Bloodline of Blonde D'Aquitaine Cattle
Why Blondes?
Benefits of the Blonde breed:
*Adapt well to harsh environments
The breed's light color, short hair,
active sweat glands and localized
muscle control over skin movement
(similar to horses) give Blondes an
advantage in the heat.
*Efficient feed converters
In feedlot tests, Blondes consistently
convert feed at the rate of 5.3 - 6.5
pounds of feed per pound of grain.
Blondes are hardy foragers and readily
convert low-grade forage to efficient
gains.
*Calving ease
Studies have shown that 98% of births
were unassisted. The Blonde female
has a larger, wider pelvic opening than
is noted in other similar European
breeds. Blonde calves' long, narrow
conformation makes delivery problems
minimal.
*Docile temperament
Results in easier and safer handling and
management.
