Each year, the mascot cow allows the Show to honor a triptych of territory, product and human.
From February 24 to March 3, 2024, it will be Oreillette, a 5-year-old Normande cow who will be the symbol.
With her three-color dress and her well-designed glasses, Oreillette is a beautiful ambassador of the Normand breed.
Aged 5 and mother of 3 calves, she comes from Briouze, a town located in the Orne department in Normandie. It is at GAEC Foucault, a family farm of 155 hectaresthat Oreillette lives and grazes among a 100% Norman herd of 110 dairy cows and 24 oxen. The milk produced is delivered to the dairy and transformed into Camembert de Normandie and Pont L’évêque AOP, an assurance of know-how and quality. On average, Oreillette's milk production represents 10.5 Camemberts per day of life. She is a worthy descendant of Ramette, her great-grandmother, one of the greatest milk producers of the breed to date.
With her calm temperament and ability to adapt, Oreillette will proudly wear the colors of the Normande breed during the 2024 International Agricultural Show.
