THE LIMOUSIN, HIGH NATURAL VALUE

The Or Rouge brand was born of the exceptional environment of the Limousin region in France. A region that represents a real wealth of resources as it is recognized as a territory with a High Natural Value that must be maintained and protected.

Everything starts here in this region of long-standing farming traditions and rich land heritage. The land here is generous. Its waters are pure and supplied by natural springs. Abundant vegetation flourishes in its green meadows. From spring through to early winter, it provides high-quality grass that is perfect for fattening animals.

Here, generation after generation of farmers who are passionate about their work, rear the Limousin breed. Thanks to a well-considered, careful approach to farming, the animals are fed with raw materials produced on their farms, with the greatest respect for animal welfare.

« I enjoy having contact with my animals and meadows every day. Beyond rearing my animals, my role as a farmer is to look after my meadows, my waterways, my environment... We play a very important environmental and ecological role! I am very proud to be a farmer, contact with animals has always been a passion for me. I work in a dream setting and every day I strive to preserve it for future generations. ».

ULTRARIGOROUS SELECTION

Only the best animals from the best certified farms in Limousin are chosen. Ultra-selection, from breeding to marketing. We have been working for years with the best breeders in the region, on the basis of extensive records and selected herds in order to ensure the best for our customers.

Our expertise as the undisputed referent for the Limousin breed allows us to select cows directly from farms in order to meet our Or Rouge selection criteria: animal weight, age, conformation, bone structure, overall health, fat cover, balanced diet and animal welfare... all these criteria are all carefully checked to ensure that we obtain exceptional Limousin cows.

Remember that only Limousin livestock that is born, raised and slaughtered in the Limousin departments (Haute-Vienne, Creuse, Corrèze and neighbouring cantons) are eligible for Or Rouge branding.

This ultra-selection throughout the chain is an essential step in obtaining Or Rouge meat that is different from other meats.

« The Limousin breed is a very easy breed to work with! It is a meat variety with a lot of colour, flavour and marbling and can be matured for truly exceptional results. Livestock farmers fatten their animals naturally on grassland and this comes through in the meat. My customers appreciate the high-quality of the meat, and its exceptional flavour. I regularly travel in the Limousin to select animals at livestock competitions. I buy award-winning animals and it's a real pleasure for me and for my customers. »
