Blonde d'Aquitaine

The Blonde d'Aquitaine is a modern French breed of large domestic beef cattle.

The moving force behind the creation of the breed was Raphaël Trémouille, a veterinary surgeon and member of the lower chamber of the French parliament.

[4]: 131 The Blonde d'Aquitaine is wheat- or cream-coloured, varying from a dark to very light fawn;[5]: 132  the surround of the eyes and the area round the muzzle is paler.
