Present at the entrance of the Show, Neige will welcome the 600,000 expected visitors. For a week, she will embody the image and values of Savoy agriculture.

Originating from the Haute-Savoie valley from which it takes its name, the Abondance has been recognized as a cattle breed since 1891. It is the 4th French dairy breed. It concentrates 75% of its numbers in Savoie Mont Blanc. Neige is part of the 47-cow herd of the family farm of Arnaud, Pauline and Philippe Missillier.
