Cattle presentations

More than 600 cattle of 14 different breeds will provide a continuous spectacle in the main ring during the four days of the Show. 10 sheep and goat breeds will also be presented. The high quality of its livestock presentations have made SPACE a global standard setter for breed events.

 

For the 26th edition of SPACE, the Limousine is the breed in focus in the main ring, on Tuesday with its breed festival: a national competition will bring together 90 breeding stock.

 

This year, we are also returning to the Prim'Holstein France Challenge. The section judging will take place on Wednesday afternoon, with the championship prizegiving on Thursday.


For sheep breeders, the Vendée breed is holding its special competition on Tuesday.
