This race is originating in the Gironde. Traditionally, this race was high in the palus of the Gironde (wetland between the wine river and slopes) and provided Bordeaux out of milk and butter. Its decline with started at the 19th century. The arrival of the Railroad with license to supply themselves further out of dairy produce and to sell the wine well. Even the palus, however not very wine, were planted, driving out the breedings in the zones of poor sands of the north of the the Dordogne. A genealogical register was open in 1898.
L' membership of this race to a branch is unknown, but it presents resemblances to races come from any other region:
  • Gloucester with the the United Kingdom: it could come, like it, of a crossing between bovines of the Celtic branch and bovines of the branch Nordique brought by the Viking S.
  • Berrenda will negra in Andalusia: it would result from the red branch of the fair and red branch, and would be thus related with the race auvergnate salers.

In spite of crossings with Holstein S and limousine, they preserved the color of dress. They were safeguarded, and are high with an aim of perpetuating the genetic reserve of this race.
