Bazadaise

The Bazadaise, pronounced baz-a-day, is a French beef breed originally from the small town of Bazas, some 60km south of Bordeaux. Obviously its name was derived from the town where it was developed. The breed is believed to be a hybrid of the local Autochthon breed with the Bos Indicus brought by the invading Moors in the middle ages. The French Bazadaise herd book was first established in 1895.
