For each edition of the Show, a breed is given pride of place: in 2024, it's the Normande breed that has been selected by the President of the Breed Selection Organization (OS). What's more, the president directly chooses the cow that will be the muse of the Show: from then on, the breeder will have to devote part of his time to preparing the cow and promoting the Show.

The Limousin breed can be recognized by its wheat-colored coat. Known for its maternal qualities, the breed is mainly devoted to meat production. It is the most popular suckler breed in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and the second most popular suckler breed in France, according to Limousine.org. So, see you on February 22, 2025 to discover Oupette, a Limousin cow elected the 2025 muse of the Salon de l'Agriculture!
