Where’s the beef?
France has given the world Champagne, Edith Piaf, and the Eiffel Tower, but the country’s most significant contribution to romance yet may be trouverlebontaureau.com (which translates to “find the right bull” ), a site developed by French farmer Sylvain Frobert to help “demanding cows” find their better half.
Breeders like Frobert use trouverlebontaureau to find boo(vine)s with specific genetic qualities to improve their herd, but according to Phys.org’s translations, the site still reads like many online dating forums for humans:
What about Cyrano, a Charolais bull who boasts a “breathtaking body”? But there is also Arlequin, a Blonde d’Aquitaine—a breed from southwestern France—who despite his rural upbringing has a “Parisian elegance”.
The cream-coloured bull Euskadi is targeting “females who live for blondes”, while Braise boasts an “exceptional rump”.
Trouverlebontaureau is expected to expand soon to England, Spain, Italy and China, so sorry American cows, you’ll have to do without your very own version of beef Tinder-loin. Good luck with the old-fashioned “exceptional rump” hunt.
