Our farm is open to share our passion for breeding: Charolais cows, wagyus (the best meat in the world) and Selle Français sport horses. We are committed to respect for animals, the environment and transparency. Wagyu, the legendary Japanese beef. "Waygyu" means "Japanese beef". This breed is at the origin of several exceptional meat-producing regions (Kobe beef, Hida beef, Ishigaki beef, etc.) throughout the Japanese archipelago. It was at the end of the 19th century, after more than a hundred years of prohibition, that the Japanese population began to consume the meat of oxen previously used for agricultural work. The breed was selected for the marbling of its meat, but also for its docility. Respect for animals and their environment is an integral part of Japanese Buddhist culture. One of the best beef cuts in the world! The marbling (intramuscular fat) gives the meat its taste: its importance is a characteristic of hardy breeds that is lost with selection to increase muscle mass. It explains the unrivalled flavor of Wagyu beef and its exceptional smoothness. Wagyu beef is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, notably Omega 3. These essential fatty acids are beneficial to health and help prevent certain diseases. Wagyu cattle are particularly well cared for, avoiding any stress. They are fattened throughout their development, reaching maturity at 3 years. Charolais, an excellent traditional meat! We also raise a herd of Charolais cattle, carefully selected to produce quality meat. For direct sale, we reserve young cows aged 4-6 years who have had one to three calves: this is what gives the tastiest, most tender meat. They are fattened with the same high-quality feed as Wagyu cattle, and the fattening period (from 4 to 12 months) ensures that the meat is very marbled for the breed, and therefore very tasty. Breeding in the Ain region. Our methods are based on the renowned tradition of Bresse breeding, and combine the very best in terms of genetics, feed, habitat and rearing methods, with respect for the animal (and the employees). The farm provides the cows' feed: natural meadows, artificial meadows (Swiss Mix) and cereals form the basis. The cows and their calves are raised freely in the meadows during the good season (March to November). We integrate respect for the environment into our breeding approach: hedges are planted, manure is treated by methanization and the energy thus supplied is used to dry fodder in the barn. We optimize crop production by alternating grazing with cattle and horses (thus also reducing parasite pressure). Finally, in keeping with Japanese culture, we take particular care to maintain the docility of our animals through respectful and attentive domestication.

Gallic calendar and Coligny's god

Gallic calendar and Coligny's god

Discovered in 1897, these two Gallo-Roman remains are true archaeological treasures, now preserved in Lyon's Fourvière Museum, and copies of which are on display in the hall of Coligny town hall. The Coligny god is a bronze statue (1.74 m) unearthed in multiple fragments at a place called "en Verpois" (north of the commune). It depicts an athletic, naked young man with curly hair, probably the god Mars. The missing eyes were probably glass beads. The raised right arm rests on a staff. Above the hair, a smooth band was used to attach a headdress, probably a helmet (now missing). Unfortunately, the left arm is incomplete. The significance of these naked Mars figures, whose distribution is practically limited to Northern Gaul, is undoubtedly different from that of the armored Mars. Here, the god is practically stripped of his military and warlike appearance; he could be the equivalent of Teutates, his Gallic counterpart. Dating: 2nd half of the first century. The Gallic calendar: discovered in the same place, it also dates from the same period as the god Mars. It consists of a large rectangular bronze plate (1.48 m x 0.80 m), broken into 150 fragments. Although incomplete, it is reputed to bear the longest known inscription in the Gallic language, written here in Latin characters: some 600 different words have been preserved! This is a lunisolar calendar: the months are punctuated by the phases of the moon. Five years are represented, each comprising 12 "ordinary" months, alternating between 29 and 30 days in length, to keep as close as possible to the 365-day solar year. However, two "intercalary" months have been added (one every 2.5 years), to avoid too great a discrepancy between calendar time and the reality of the seasons. Each month has a name and is divided into two fortnights separated by the word atenoux (?). Some months are marked ""mat"" (good), others ""anmat"" (bad). The days have no names. They are materialized by a hole in which a wooden peg is placed and advanced daily. A number of notations remain untranslated: they may refer to particular festivals or ceremonies that took place on that day. The perforations correspond to the location of the pegs used to mark the days. It is assumed that the calendar and statue were originally placed in a temple. Religious use would explain the permanence of this calendar, based on an ancient time-counting system that was abandoned in Roman times with the adoption of the Julian calendar in the middle of the 1st century BC.
