Male Limousin & Greek Red Breed, born by free-range cows.

Male Limousin & Greek Red Breed

In the stock farms of the Daskalos family, we breed hundreds of male calves, born by free-range cows which live for about six months per year in the mountainous areas of Northern Pindos. After their weaning, the calves follow a fattening diet with feed of purely plant origin.

The calves born by the farm’s free-range cows belong to the Greek Red Breed and they are certified by the Genetic Improvement Centre in Karditsa. All the calves of the farm are in absolute compliance with the phenotypic standards of the Greek Red Breed, appointed by the Ministry of Rural Development and Food. They are large animals of gold-red colour, with short heads, wide foreheads and wide snouts. If there are horns, they are golden yellow and the skin of the animals is very thin.

Crossbreeding

The genetic improvement of animals constitutes a factor of utmost importance for Greek animal farming. Considering the needs of the modern meat market, this can be achieved in the Daskalos family farm with the crossbreeding of animals of different breeds. In that way, the animal’s growth performance, its ability to make better use of the feed it consumes, its morphology and its general ability for fattening are improved.

In the Daskalos livestock breeding unit, aiming at the optimization of meat production characteristics of the animals, we choose to crossbreed animals of the Limousin and the Belgian Blue breed.
