Barkhurst bought him and his brother from Canada.

They were from a flush.

The brother was not preferred or collected.

i haven't used epinal or cunia in any flushes yet.


i may, but haven't.


they are essentially the breed right now.  both are known to be most effective at removing marbling, especially cunia.


cunia has novino in him (taton's sire i think) supposedly  so epinal and cunia are semi closely related.

JMO, but the French should probably be approaching you for some real genetics!
I battled to find any standout cattle in the video, in fact, lots were simply undesirable, especially udders.
What a disappointment!

I appreciate the complement but it is doubtful that will ever happen. Actually most if not all of the north American fullblood breeders have better genetics. My intention of the post was to show that there are cattle in the pastures in France that are closer to cattle here and are not the big course almost double muscled show cattle if you look at the show videos on the French website. I agree you have to look past the bad udders, horns and white colors. Some of the cows on the video I like especially at .34, .50, .58, 1.33, 1.41, 2.14, 3.06 group and calves at 1.25, 2.58, and 4.33. Not all are perfect but basically made right.

I agree believe it or not I posted that video a few years ago on here but cant remember when I still have it I also saw some smaller really nice made females in farm pictures over there Wish I could find them-very complete deeper bodied very moderate pretty fronted and level front to rear They probably were just commercial females but were spot on for me  O0
