National audience118 cows (86 Salers breed and 32 Limousine breed) were studied at INRA experimental farms in Marcenat (Cantal) and Laqueuille (Puy-de-Dbme) to determine best conditions for fattening cull cows with hay diets. Hay of variable food value (organic matter digestibility between 58.5 and 64.0) was collected in fine weather conditions on the lower mountain slopes (1 000 m). The date of slaughter was fixed by reference to the average degree of fattening (a score of 3.5 - 4.0 out of 5). The Salers cows (initial average score : 2 to 2.5) produced carcasses weighing 350 kg approximately after 55 to 60 days of fattening through dietary intake of 2.0 to 2.2 kg DM/100 kg live weight. It was necessary to complement the diet with a minimum...
