With the return of the rain, the grass grows again and the cows are back to pasture, but not everywhere, as some breeders on social media also testify.
” The precipitation in early September they are close to normal or even sometimes higher ”note our Weather Channel colleagues. And this is the joy of the ranchers whose pastures have become greener in recent days, well almost everywhere.
The cows are starting to come out. This is the case of Antoine Thibault in Eure who hopes to leave them there for 7-8 weeks:
This shot is the good one!

Ditto for Thomas in Doubs, Lorine in Deux-Sèvres or Olivier Sourdin in Ille-et-Vilaine:

Let’s go back to fresh grass for our heifers!
There was no need to ask them to change their lawn.
We have been feeding them hay from the beginning of July, which means that it is a pleasure for them!

But for some, the rain was not enough or almost absent and the grass is not growing back. This is the case of the Vendée with Lino and Maël Daniau, both breeders. Maël explains that she has to breastfeed every day from 1is June :
Become hopeless, it’s the same with me
