The SOMMET DE L’ELEVAGE is an international trade show dedicated to livestock production. It will take place over three days 1, 2 and 3 October 2014 at the Grande Halle d’Auvergne exhibition centre in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Last year the show attracted 82,500 visitors.

Two major cattle breed competitions will be taking place at the show this year. The Aubrac breed will be showcased with 400 animals competing for best-of-breed, while the Simmental breed will be hosting its inaugural European best-of-breed competition at the SOMMET.

There will be 2,000 animals on show made up of cattle, sheep and horses. A special programme for international visitors will allow you to visit a selection of beef farms, a slaughterhouse and a cattle export centre.
