We leave again, with a great desire to return to normal. Tomorrow in Vetan, the Marcoz family opens the Inarpa season, as will happen in the next few days to many Valle d’Aosta breeders.
It is the day of the mountain climb of the grazing cows, which will stay like this all summer at high altitude.
An ancient tradition of grazing, which involves transhumance in the high mountains in search of pastures for the summer.
Usually 100 days are spent in the mountain pastures and which end with the descent from the mountain, the derapa, which is also very popular and celebrated.
“The cows return to graze in the Aosta Valley mountains, tomorrow there will be the first outing after a long winter, says Gilberto Marcoz, the owner of the homonymous company – a lot of work to do, but normally it would also be a party to get together with friends and celebrate a new season, tomorrow with combat direct we will also be live on facebook, we will enjoy the joy of our animals, even if this time, limited by the covid, we will not be able to fully celebrate “.
And it is precisely from the example that there will be tomorrow, that the fight originates, the famous Batailles des Reines. In fact, tomorrow, for the first time, the free cows on the pastures will start a natural fight, which aims to establish a hierarchy within the herd.
A party for the arrival of summer, but above all the wish for a recovery to normal life, for a category that, like all of them, has suffered and fought to survive the difficult pandemic moment.
