History
1918 : the Daydé family settled at the bottom of the village of Lautrec in a polyculture-breeding farm. The generations have succeeded one another and the family has lived there for almost 100 years in the so-called “Les Nauzes”.
1963 : Edmond Daydé (father of Daniel Daydé) introduced the Blonde d’Aquitaine breed at the heart of the farm after many years of unconvincing results with the Charolaise and Limousine breeds.
For 30 years, it’s with the Blonde d’Aquitaine breed that Nicole and Daniel Daydé have continued improving the genetics in order to increase the performance of their herd as well as the surrounding herd thanks to their bulls.
1970 : First appearance at the departmental and regional contest
1992 : First appearance at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris
2006 : Nicolas Daydé (Daniel and Nicole’s son) joins the farm
2015 : first place and male champion with Gaillard at the Paris International Agricultural Show.
Today
Daniel, Nicole and Nicolas work on the farm Les Nauzes as a GAEC. The farm does polyculture and livestock farming and is based essentially on the selling and reproduction of Blonde d’Aquitaine beef cattle.
The farm also has 2 hectares of Lautrec Pink Garlic. The garlic is certified “Label Rouge” and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).
Les débouchés économiques
Cull cows : fattened up on the farm and valorisées at a local butchery. On average 35 cull cows per year.
Breeding : 15 to 20 males are sold for breeding each year in France and abroad as well as some of the females.
