Émilien and Romarin for a first in Paris

Who would have thought in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis that Emilien Soulenq would attend the international agricultural show in Paris next February? Life is a sum of unforeseen events, a reason for it to be lived well. Head of hiking mission at the Aubrac Regional Natural Park for eight years, Émilien Soulenq, after making his travels, returned to the family farm, straddling Mur-de-Barrez and Thérondels, to perpetuate the family history. Training in Rodez in his bag, he settled two years ago, in a Joint Agricultural Group (Gaec) with his mother, Nicole, on the borders of Carladez.

“A pride”

Awarded with his young bull Romarin at the cantonal competition of Saint-Amans-des-Côts and the departmental competition in Laissac this fall, he was selected to participate in the International Agricultural Show which will take place from February 22 to March 2, 2025 in Paris. “We are very happy, it’s a source of pride, a recognition”confides Émilien, for whom this participation will be a first. A first for the family. There is no doubt that his dad, Jean-Pierre, will be on the trip. “When the planets align, this selection crowns a collective approach, it is the opportunity to show off a beautiful breed”adds Emilien, also quite proud to show that the Carladez contributes to the reputation of the breed.

“The opportunity to show a beautiful breed”

Proof of this is the relaunch of the Livestock Festival for two years in Carladez.

All that remains is to pamper Romarin to take control of the fields in Paris. And who knows, win a prize?
