been translating a bunch of french documents and found this.

the number of fullbloods used for lactation has been cut in half from late 90's to 2007 in france.
i don't know if this affects the number used for beef. comments seemed to center around the herd size necessary to make a profit.
typical herds from 15-30 seem to be on the way out unless substantial off-farm income can be found or diversification of other products.
a curious thing about the meat mentioned over and over was the darker color and taste (as usual) compared to contemporary products.
