About Zootechnical Review Châtillon
The Aosta Valley Cattle Breed on Show
The Aosta Valley cattle breed is one of the symbols of the agricultural and cultural identity of the Aosta Valley: hardy, suited to high-altitude pastures, and also featured in the famous Batailles de Reines (Cow Fights). Every spring, the AREV - Association Régionale Éleveurs Valdôtains organizes a series of zootechnical reviews in the region to promote this breed and the work of breeders.
The Mont-Cervin Unit Review
The review held in Châtillon (Province of Aosta) brings together breeders from the Unité des Communes Mont-Cervin, a district that includes Antey-Saint-André, Chambave, Chamois, Châtillon, La Magdeleine, Pontey, Saint-Denis, Saint-Vincent, Torgnon, Valtournenche, and Verrayes. Breeders present their best animals, which are judged and exhibited to the public in a day that is both a technical event and a celebration of the farming community.
A Tradition Connected to the Territory
The spring reviews organized by AREV mark the agricultural calendar of the Aosta Valley, heralding the summer pasture season. They are a valuable opportunity to discover mountain zootechnics up close and to understand the deep connection between the Aosta Valley breed, the landscape, and the economy of the alpine valleys. The Châtillon event is one of the first spring stops on the regional circuit.
