On Thursday, October 8, 2026, the Blonde d'Aquitaine competition took place as part of the Sommet de l'élevage, a major event in the French livestock industry that showcases high-quality cattle breeds. The event, held annually, brings together breeders, judges, and agricultural professionals to evaluate animals based on specific criteria such as conformation, health, and breed standards. The SCEA Sazy Élevage, a farm located in Tarn-et-Garonne, won the female championship title with a cow named Tanzania, who was crowned the Grande Championne du Sommet. Tanzania, a cross between Horfe and Jacquette, had previously won the female championship title at the National Blonde d'Aquitaine competition in early September. Meanwhile, the Sommets/Colibris/Debeaupuis breeding operation, based in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, won the male championship title with a bull named Uranus. Uranus had placed third in his category at the National Blond in Agen before securing the male championship title in Cournon-d’Auvergne. The competition featured several categories, with detailed results showing the winners in each. Tanzania was named the winner of both the Female Championship Title and the Female Synthesis Title, both awarded to the SCEA Sazy Élevage. In the Male Synthesis Title category, Vinaigrier, bred by CP Colibris/Debeaupuis, took first place. The other categories included classifications based on age and reproductive status, with multiple entries from various farms across France. In the F1 category for females aged 18 to 24 months, Avadara from SCEA Sazy Élevage won, followed by Amiris from Maison Bastien and Anna from GAEC Grandes Trevès. In the F2 category for females aged 2 to 3 years, Versailles from SCEA Sazy Élevage was the winner, with Vanille from several farms also receiving notable placements. The F3 category for females over 3 years saw Une Folie from GAEC du Champ de Mr and Ursula from SCEA Sazy Élevage among the top contenders. In the F4 category for primiparous females (first-time mothers), Usurpation from SCEA Sazy Élevage won, with Vivace from CP Fourcade/Clavery also placing highly. The F4V category for calves of followed females saw Best Life from SCEA Sazy Élevage and Billetze from Fourcade Laurent receive top honors. In the F5 category for multiparous females (those who have given birth before), Tanzania from SCEA Sazy Élevage was once again victorious, with Sylia from Dupin Nadine also receiving recognition. The F5V category for calves of adult followed females saw Belina from SCEA Sazy Élevage and Berger from Dupin Nadine take top spots. In the male categories, Uranus from Sommets/Colibris/Debeaupuis won the M1 category for males under 3 years old, with Vinaigrier from CP Colibris/Debeaupuis also receiving high marks. In the M2 category for males over 3 years old, Ultimo from GAEC Sainte Eulalie and Ulster from several farms were among the top performers. The competition highlighted the continued success of several breeding operations, with SCEA Sazy Élevage and Sommets/Colibris/Debeaupuis standing out across multiple categories.
