Normande are a dual purpose cattle from the Normandy coastal
area of France. They are tri-colored cattle with a dished face, short horns,
large chest and big udders. They are known for a quiet temperament, ease of
calving and handling and the ability to convert grass into milk.
Normande females have good udder conformation, mothering
ability and longevity. They have large pelvic areas and calve easily with
calves showing excellent vigor. With their rich milk, Normande cows produce
calves that grow rapidly.
They were first imported into the United States in 1974.
