NORMANDE
Cattle Genie make available to our agent Andrew Davies a selection some of the best
Normande bulls sourced from the famous region of France via our suppliers
K.I.Samen and Origen to farmers in the South West of Wales.
The Normande breed is recognised for its rich milk quality in particular the Kappa-
Casein B content making the breed highly suited to cheese makers. In addition the
breed offers exceptional fertility and calving ease due in part to the small head and
the wide pelvic area.
For several centuries the breed have grazed the pastures of Normandy,the breed
society was formed in the 1880's and today we see options within the breed to obtain
bloodlines that offer good muscularity for those dairy farmers looking to breed a cow
with high residual value and also to have high value male calves. The Normande is
ideal for cross breeding herds as a third or fourth cross.
Alternately there are many bulls available that offer lighter frame and are more suited
to extensive grazing farmers looking for a lighter animals.
Understanding the proofs
Calving ease & Calving ability:
Average = 89 with 90 and above being better and 88 and below is harder
Calving ability is the daughters ability to calve easily
Vitality of calves at birth (direct) and at calving of daughters (indirect)
Average : 92 with up to 94 better and 90 below average
Rear leg set : + is posty
Rump angle : + is sloped
Udder balance : + is high rear quarters
Teat direction: + is internal ~ for all 4 characteristics "0" is optimum
Selection ISU Index
The French Normande ISU was adjusted in 2012 to give more
importance towards functionality, more specifically udder
health, fertility and legs & feet & legs. Production is reduced
to 40% and the formula is entirely based on quantities of Kg
of Protein & Fat, with a 10 to 1 tilt towards protein. Fertility
has received a boost and is now a composite index made of
the new "calving-1st AI interval" index and the previously
introduced cow and heifer fertility indexes. Finally while Type
still accounts for 18% udder and feet & legs get the lion
share. What is more feet & legs now include locomotion.

Guveau is a Normande bull of very good origin, a son of Vivrelec who is an improver of
milk and contents. His Dam Cuvette (VG 86) is a well developed cow with strength and
great locomotion with functional udder and good teat length and shape.
Guveau will enhance milk protein levels and add some power to his daughters and
transmit good character.

FILAXIE is a Normande bull that is producing
milking daughters that are great farmer cows with
width and depth of body to those cows in a herd
that need strength. He improves feet & legs and
leaves good udders. Filaxie has above average
improvement for udder health and has good
milking speed. Fertility is good also, only thing to
be mindful of is his calving ease is average so not
suitable for maiden heifers.
