Stéphane Court settled on the family farm in 2003 with his father. Today -owners, he wants to keep his flock of sheep and cattle in "traditional" system. The goal is for him to come to live by his profession by being alone on his farm with wage employment. A balance is to be built between recovery products, herd size and production system.
